2 shows, 12 min., full stage—This organization has gone off in every particular, compared with what it was when last here. In the first place they have only 7 dancers, and one of these made her first appearance here today. As a consequence their appearance was decidedly rocky, and I had to call the one who is managing it in and read the riot act to her. Of course, the audience did not see it so badly as it appeared to me, but that makes no difference in the point of value we are paying for and what we are receiving. I am going to see her again after she has seen the orchestra leader, and will then tell he that we do not propose to pay for 8 people when only 7 appear in the act.
