Edith Helena
Edith Helena works in “one” before an ordinary olio drop, but needs must have a strip of carpet stretched across the stage before her entrance. This process does not occupy a great deal of time, but it makes a distracting break in the smoothness of the entertainment.
Ed Latell
Eph Thompson’s Elephants
Charles T. Aldric
A silly looking mechanical dog had the audience convulsed by turning a series of unexplainable somersaults in the middle of a vacant stage with no visible strings or mechanism.
La Camargo
The stage is darkened at the opening1, except for a square opening in the back drop through which is seen La Camargo in her boudoire dressing for the masquerade ball.
Newhouse and Carroll
The setting shows a stream with an arched bridge crossing it. The man is seated at the highest point, in regulation Summer outing clothes, fishing. A “Summer girl” in fluffy frock and hat crosses the bridge just as the fisherman has “a bite.” In the excitement a “breakaway” arrangement is sprung, the bridge collapses and the rails of the bridge become a pair of parallel bars. All this occupies but a few minutes, and the pair get down to the acrobatic and gymnastic work immediately.
