John F. Bryne’s pantomimic production in three scenes. Scene 1 shows the departure of the Bridal party to take the Swiss Express, which opens rather tame, no life, nee [sic] more rehearsal. Scene 2 street leading to the Station, used more to get the stage, contains some business with drunken man, Policeman, etc. Scene 3 sleeping car, en route. This is the only part of the pantomine [sic] that amounts to anything. The business is good, quick action, funny situations, etc. The act closes with an explosie [sic] showing the engine blown up, cars smashes, etc. The finish of the act is good. The laughs were scattered. The act close with very little applause.
