Musical tabloid. Dancing, five chorus girls.
Singing and comedy.
"Poppyland."
Although never intended to be so, the opening number of this tab produces many laughs. It opens with a chorus of five girls who dance to very fast time and at the same time try to sing the chorus of five of the late songs. They are only half way through the number when they are gasping for breath in a vain effort to finish they number. They were all in when they closed and it is doubtful if they could have sung the chorus of another song had it been added. This number caused more genuine laughs than the comedians, who were only mediocre. The act is nicely dressed and attractively staged.
