With Sybil Maitland. I had some serious doubts about this act registering today as our people have not been educated up to the barefoot dancing standard. I am pleased to announce that the act went over in very good shape at the matinee, the various dances being well applauded and there being four good curtain calls at the finish. Never have I seen a better looking lot of young girls in any ensemble act. One of them in particular caught the fancy of the audience and nearly everyone was talking about her ravishing as they left the theatre. The dances are modestly performed and at no time is there a display of the human figure that could possibly offend anyone. The act is a bright, vivid, intense, gorgeous chromatic dispersion of light and color that should appeal to the artistic sense of intelligent people. For a first time performance the act went very smoothly but will be much better before the end of the week. Mrs. Alex. Comstock, under whose direction the act was produced, is to be complimented for the splendid manner in which she has staged the production. Own act in 4. Time 27 min.
