Monday night the scene in India was shown without the ridiculous “prop” elephant that has been introduced right along in the important interest of “local color.”
This may have been caused by the impossibility of delivering the act's setting from a belated Boston train, in which case the delay was not without its compensation. The elephant has always been a comedy feature in the wrong place and the writhings of its canvas trunk a performance to stir even a seasoned stage hand to mirth.
