The pantomime entitled “The Tragic Rehearsal” was seventeen minutes long on the full stage.
Louise La Gai performs a dance in which she is thought to be nude under a loose fitting leopard skin. “It is very effective, and the effect is obtained, it is said, by a Parisian suit of tights, champagne colored, which has toes.”
La Gai does some toe work in a picturesque setting with her three assistants (among which A. Romeo stands out).
The act really should have closed the show, as La Gai's supposed nudity would draw significant publicity.
