Also known as the "High Rollers."
"The Burlesque Queen," featuring John Jess, Chas. Barrett, Ben Walker, Jack Davis, and Lee Hickman. Women principles feature Hattie Mills, Blanche Martin, and Mande Ellston. Jack and Helen Davis are skatorial [sic]
dancers and their exhibition was liked. Hickman
and Jess presented their satire on "Golf," and
won applause. Hattie Mills sang and danced,
meeting with favor, while Rose and Ellis gave
their acrobatic and barrel Jumping feats, a good
number. Walker and Barrett revived the "Upper
Ten and Lower Five" character sketch,
with descriptive songs and recitation.
