Percy Haswell & Co

Type:
Shakesperian [sic] sketch “Master Will’s Players.” 25 minutes, interior in 4. Miss Haswell has taken a rather novel method of introducing Shakespeare in vaudeville. She is a finished actress and has surrounded herself with a competent company. The act opens with a short prologue in one before plush curtains. To the better class of vaudeville lovers with this act will be most acceptable, while to these who are unfamiliar with the writings of The Bard of Avon, the act will seem decidedly indistinct. There was a fair amount of applause at the finish. (Chicago)
