21 min. F.S. Better than ever. This act is certainly the children’s delight and no mistake. Immensely improved by the introduction of a manikin audience and orchestra visible throughout. It is marvelous how close to human movements they can operate these little toys in imitation of people of all nations in consistent scenes, all brilliant and varied. Children’s laughter could be heard everywhere in the house, and the applause was constant. Mme Jewell got a strong hand at the finish.
