This is a dance by eight young girls, the act having been put together in Philadelphia and booked at the suggestion of Mr. Albee. They open rather poorly in Indian costume makeup and singing Winona, and as neither of them are good singer the effect is no particularly brilliant. They then change to short knee dresses and do the old imitation mirror dance, that is using gauze for the mirrors and four working behind and four in front, after the style of the Rosebuds. Then they change to knickbockers and do a dance which is composed of about equal parts fencing, dancing, and drilling, the fencing part being quite novel. On whole it is quite a pleasing act. 16 min, full stage.
