Joseph Hart’s “Rain-Dears”

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
Eight pretty girls and Miss Louise Montrece.  Time 14.  Open in 2 close F.S.  Four scenes.  This is far and away the best “girl act” we have had for a long time, and we have had a lot lately.  The girls are all good looking and Miss Montrose makes a good leader.  The costumes are pretty and unusual and the eccentric dancing is very attractive.  The close with girls in heavy rain coats and rubber coats while the “real” rain is falling on them scores heavily with the audience.  Three encores.  The big hit of the show.
