On Music Row
The first drop in “one” represents the exterior of the north side of Twenty-eighth Street, between Broadway and Sixth avenue, with “music publisher” painted on walls, doors and windows, although no firm is advertised by name. The second scene is the interior of the “room,” with a piano and a young woman player. Again going into “one” for the close, the company of five appear in minstrel parade dress, singing and doing a few simple dance steps.

Countess Olga Rossi
She dresses in a manner that appeals to an American as most “Frenchy,” particularly the full bust, low-cut corsage and laced-in waist..
The scene of the sketch might be placed in Central Park for the appearances. There is a background of green fields, in the foreground of which has been placed an imposing looking soda water fountain in full working order.
Those Happy College Days
Thighe is a star football player and the idol of his roommates, three in number. This becomes plain when he enters in football armor, jauntily swinging a leather headguard.

Peter F. Dailey
He is supported by six girls, four of them ex-members of Wayburn’s Minstrel Misses. Dailey plays a detective, hired by Mr. Bankroll to get him out of a scrape with a woman. Mrs. Bankroll employs him for the same reason. The girls are tiny and dainty and wear short skirts and “Dinah” pantalettes. The usual pretty light effects were missing and should be brought back.
