The turn
is dressed in a rather pretty setting
depicting a western section with a practical
wagon at one side.
"Highwaymen" might best be termed a miniature operatic skit, carrying but
three people with one merely nibbling
at a small bit to provide a touch of
broad comedy to the affair. The opening has the man held up at
pistol point by "Terrible Dick," a
noted hiphwayman." Eventually the
theme brings "Dick" out as a woman,
an old friend or sweetheart of the man.
