– In a travestry [sic] on Sardou’s “Cleopatra.” These people are just as good as they ever were. Their act does not make the tremendous hit that used to be, but I attributed it to the fact that audiences get so used to seeing big vaudeville that it takes a great deal to disturb their equilibrium. They have brightened the act with one or two new situations and carry an extra man and woman so it is really quite a brilliant production. Both Ross & Fenton sustain their characters with their old-time vim. While it is a burlesque they show at all times that they have a true conception of the legitimate action of the peace. 18 minutes; full stage.
