“His 6 Winning Widows.” Has three new girls, the prettiest of which is “Saturday.” He has dressed the women well and has an orchestra leader of his own.
The young women are real dancers. Miss Barsch should uncover herself in at the second verse of the “Witches” song. The girls should wear their hair in the same style. The girls were kept constantly on the move.
Remains the same as when it played at Keeney’s earlier in the season. The girls are working in a studied manner. Ed Hume does not look, dress or play the part of the “Freshman” well. His dancing, of which there is very little, is the best. Two girls in the left of the line, overdo the “buisness.”
The former trio of Moellier, Burke and Teller, has been enlarged with three young women. A more elaborate setting is used. After the opening in a school library, the dresses are discarded leaving the girls in petticoats and corset covers. They theh remove their shoes and stockings and do a short barefoot dance and then leave the stage. When they change and come back, they lay on their backs and do a pedal dance in the air, one part of which approaches suggestive.
A bare stage act showing a rehearsal. There are six young women and W.Newman the stage manager. All the tardy girls arrive with excuses and exit to change. Miss Gordon is last to arrive but removes her street clothes behind a screen on stage. The girls are not lively or good looking. Miss Gordon is fair but icy, and does not thaw. Her costume in the finale is tights. Entwined flags of two nations are lowered near the end in a vain attempt to secure applause.
The “Twirlie Girlies” don’t dance much but make an effective background. The first number resemble “The Village Cutups” in which they wear costumes too hideous in cut and colour to be funny. Miss Reynolds has a quick change and then has the stage to herself for a graceful doll dance. The final number was the best, with the girls in short panties of green velvet.
supposed to be a revised edition of the former act of the same name. New management under Joseph Hart. No change is shown. A new setting and drop di not add to the effectivness. The electrical lighting of the girls has not been improved and there is not enough of it. The same cotton tights are worn.
They have ideas away from the others and please though this and smart costumes. The young women who perform a duo dance should wear something under their blouses for decency. The men in the audience are moved to make remarks about their mamillary development.
Cotton tights are worn. Heavier batteries should be carried to permit the use of more lights and the drop with the battleship should not be shown.
Performers dress as Japanese. The figures are rather well worked out and it is a lively bunch of well trained girls.
