slapstick comedy has been eliminated.
Many rich lines. Free from vulgarity. Barton and Baker were the cheif fun makers assisted by Annie Don Mullen. Baker has a monolouge that goes over the audience's head but makes up for it by singing an Irish song. Baker has the best singing voice in burlesque.
Excellent chorus selection, such singing is seldom heard in a burlesque
