What goes a long way in making the offering worth while is the uniform shapeliness and good work of the girls. A chorus dressed in white tights looked well in the first part, and in te burlesque an outfit of red tights made a good stage picture.
Viola Sheldon was a decidedly attractive figure in all her costumes, remaining in long skirts for the greater part of the time.
The other women principals have little to do except wear their costumes and help out the stage picture.
Miss Mildred might have her frock constructed on more graceful lines, her dressing being rather untidy.
(Red Raven Cadets:) Their dressing is pretty, but the wordrobe is not quite as lavish as that displayed by the other Dinkins companies.
Gun shots, red fire, confusio and the American flag work up a good climax to the act.
Anna Arline is an active young soubrette, but has a penchant for long skirts. Even in the olio, where she wears a red costume with a faded look, the nether garment is long, giving her a squatty appearance.
They have placed sixteen girls in the chorus, given them gorgeous costumes to wear, staged the numbers artistically, have a full complement of principals, obliging the conviction that the “Dainty Duchess” is the most expensive show on the road.
Several of the costumes were strikingly original in design and an attractive color scheme in preserved throughout.
Eight people are scattered over the stage, including a King and Baroness Von Elsner
In the opening chorus she (Ms. Murray) wears an atrocious costume of red, plentifully besprinkled with spangles as big as quarters. Throughout the rest of the show, however, her dressing was in excellent taste.
Four changes are shown in the opening piece, all pretty with the exception of the opening number. The costumes for the burlesque are even more elaborate, there being a partial change in the last two or three minutes.
The Lavelle Sisters open the olio in ungainly looking cloaks and bonnets, tied with unsightly blue ribbon, afterward changing to neater dress
All the numbers are lavishly dressed and Aggie Behler, the soubrette, displayed one of the most elaborate wardrobes seen about the local burlesque houses in many weeks. She has four changes in the first act, wearing a fresh costume for the finale of that piece.
pretty girls and graceful dancing.
