Taylor Granville and Company

Early in the week the lights and effects were poorly handled, and an opportunity lost for any amount of fun with the “supers” employed. This fault caused the opening to drag. The setting Represents the exterior of a circus tent and brings in several characters.

Adele Purvis Onri

Serpentine dance with elaborate colour effects. She is assisted by Flora Allotrope, a chubby young person with not a little ability as a toe dancer. At the opening Miss ONri’s simple juggling feats while balancing herself on the globe drafted a bit, although some interest was aroused by the program announcement calling attention to her costly imported Japanese gown.

Ernest Hogan’s 12 Blackbirds

The dressing is the worst possible. The girls, particularly, look as if they had come in for rehearsal on a rainy morning. The men are a bit better. One of the girls made up in grotesque costume had a good dance, and the same ” Auntie” contributed some excellent eccentric steps.

May Yohe and Her West Point Vadets

Four young male persons make up the troupe. Miss Yohe makes one costume change from a pretty white princess frock to a short-skirted costume of yellow.
