“Rain-Dears”

Location:

Type:
25 min. F.S. 2 shows. Owing to the fact that this was the first presentation, it did not go as swiftly and strong as it will later. The material is there all right, and when everything is in working order will pull up. The audience did not know exactly how it take this act, but the musical features and the dancing got a good hand on each occasion, as they well deserved. The transformations are well conceived and when the mechanical part runs more smoothly, it will be a sensation. The act includes a snow storm and finishes with a rain storm with real water sprinkling from above upon the seven girls in rain coats. It is very effective and certainly novel. I will give a supplementary report on this act. IT will close the show tonight.
