The show is in two acts.
Chorus showed up in pretty bathing gowns.
The second part features a Dutch number.
The costuming is not of the best. A pretty costume appears now and again, but the show cannot be rated well up on dressing and scenery.
There are but two women principals, not enough.
The South Pole
On the Dear Old Beach.
The show went well at the Bronx, this week, in every department, so well in fact, that the company seemed perfectly satisfied and contented.
There are some laughs and a few good ones, but there would be many more if the work were gone after along cleaner and less slapstick lines.
There were other numbers which did well. The finale of the first act with the girls using drums and marching through the audience was a big hit, and it deserved to be. It is well put on.
The Rector Girls is an ordinary show of the old school, with little novelty for regular burlesque patrons.
The bits, all familiar, follow each other in rapid succession. Sometimes without even number between.
Little is new in this act, but the comedy isn't all poor.
In numbers, the show is not strong, principally because the numbers have been shoved into the background to make way for the comedy.Flo, Dear, Flo
If the show is to remain as it is, one can be cut out as the show runs well on to 11.30 now.
