Keller’s American Zouave Girls

Location:
Date:
9 women and 3 men. This act is one of the order of the ‘Streeter Zouaves,’ substituting the girls for men, giving the act an element of novelty. Their drilling is not quite as good, although they managed to secure a big lot of applause for their work. The wall-scaling is not as strong, for the reason, that only a few of the grils [sic] make an attempt, but they keep up the enthusiasm and get a good strong hand on the finish. I think the act is easily worth $25 more than what we are paying it for the circuit. 10 min, full stage.
