The few changes that have been made to “The Majestics” act have not altered the running of the show, leaving it “one of the best burlesque shows that the Eastern Wheel can boast of.” The show has a steady and snappy pace from start to finish, providing plenty of evidence that those employed earn their money.
The stage has a
velour crescent shaped drapery, with a
chandelier hung from the center. It resembles
a Turkish smoking room.
A special drop shows
a railway depot. At the opening a dozen
or more people pass through the entrance,
followed by a baggage man who dumps a
large trunk in the centre of the stage.
It is an operetta,
with eleven people, all principals, the
women representing birds, and wearing
tights during the entire time. This helps
to make it a “sight” act. The setting,
an interior of a tree, has been well
attended to.
Described as “musical fantasy”
“There is a very thin story, or fable, Involving the
problems of a married man and a young woman,
the latter a sort of fairy, who descended on earth
to fall In love with the German comedian. It appears.
She Is attired in scant robes snd enthuses
the funny man with her charm until his wife appears
on the scene.”
Dances, illustrated songs by Miss King, Controtionist, acrobatics.
In the opening “The Art of Self Defense” brings on the girls with sweaters and boxing gloves. This is nicely worked up, the young women pummeling one an- other to the great glee of the house; “Practical Man” in the second division again receives many encores, and this is through Mr. Lewis’ efforts alone.
Miss Vedder displayed a gorgeous green gown and put into a lot of vacant dialogue. Her appearance alone justified her presence and she added gratuitously an agreeable manner, graceful stage deportment, and a figure that, set off by tights, roused the boys to spontaneous applause.
The frocks of the chorus for the first part are conspicuously chic and well made, but there is not one change, the same dressing being worn throug half a dozen numbers.
Louise Carver had an eccentric part and she makes a first rate eccentric, verging on a female clown, by reason of her great height.
