The Mystic Pool

The original idea of the act was prob- ably some such effect as is secured in the New York Hippodrome water scene, where the nymphs rise directly from the water, but the germ has been so cumbered and clouded by a surplusage of incidentals that ever were the mechanical arrangements carried out properly, it would lose much of its force. Indeed, the water nymph in “The Mystic Pool” does not seem to arise from the water, but rather appears to come into the tank from the side under cover of an arrangement of foliage.

Sam Williams

A bit more distinctiveness in dressing might improve his appearance.

Hibbert and Warren

The latter shows one of the neatest costumes that has been seen lately.

The Tobin Sisters

The two girls themselves seem to be oppressed with habitual melancholy. Their faces never once thawed to enthusiasm, and their listlessness communicated itself to the audience, helped partly by a succession of rather heavy selections.

LaVeen and Cross

The dressing is neat and all the details are carefully looked to.
