The Four Stewart Sisters open the show, wearing very unattractive costumes, composed of short black dresses and “kid” stockings for the first few minutes of their simple acrobatic work, doing much better with the statue clog, which might as well have been done in “one.”
The Josselin Trio on the trapeze opened, looking well in pure white against a black draped setting. All the apparatus should lie painted dark also, so there would be no jar in the color scheme. Even the ropes should be blackened and the descent for the finale shortened.
May has a new dress and is wearing the family diamonds, increased this season to the extent of a few hundred thousands of dollars. – The Elinore Sisters have no corner on the precious stones this week, though.
Netta Vesta looks too well in her new blue dress to waste the time on two of the songs she is singing.
She dresses in court costume of a bygone century with knickerbockers and silk stockings, selecting this costume for no particular reason except that she looks well in it. At least there is nothing in the offering to make the costume appropriate.
