Boy Coleman and Company

Location:

Type:
In ‘Buster Brown’s Burglar.’ 20 min. FS. This act was the limit of human endurance. The child is altogether too young to appear on any stage, to say nothing of an immense house like ours where he was heard halfway across the orchestra floor. This being a holiday week, something much stronger than this feature is necessary, for the child and the rest of the cast would never hold the interest even if the Children’s Society would allow the boy to finish, which is very doubtful, as they are very strict. We were therefore obliged to close this act at once.
