With William Burress. A short Operatic Outburst. 35 Min. F.S. This is a very novel and pretentious vaudeville feature. The music is beautifully written. The book contains no end of clever lines, and the characters of Hammerstein, Conriad, Melba, Caruse, and the rest are immense. I could not conceive of a vaudeville travesty constructed on more popular lines. The hits were applauded and the musical numbers got big hands. The finishing chorus in which the Hammerstein forces sing in Italian Opera, while the Conreid Song Birds sing in German Opera, beautifully blended in orchestration, got a whirlwind hand with eight curtain calls at the finish and two encores. This act is bound to draw big crowds this week, and tis previous appearance with the opposition (in a much inferior manner) has served to give it wider advertising. Papers write in giving this act high praise.
