Type:
"English Folly". "My Southern
Rose" brings out the best costumed and
prettiest number of the evening. "Love
and Temptation," a sort of a "Salome"
affair, follows the specialties and closes the
show. Featuring John E. Cain, T.F. Thomas, Idylia Vyner, Nina York, Hanriette Wheeler, Blanche Newcombe (who sang "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself,
but Leave His Wife Alone"), Mlle. Beatrice, Pasquale Mario, Brownie Carroll. Joe Van, George F. Britt and Ernest
Van make a trio of straight men that has
not been equaled in burlesque. George Britt
leads several numbers in a peculiarly
pleasing high tenor. James Bogard did
very little with the broken down legit.
The principals
make the present vehicle entertaining
and the extremely large house at the
Olympic Friday night showed appreciation.
