Weber and Capitola

Date:
15 Mins.; One (Special Drop). Billed as “Broadway’s Youthful Prodigies.” Weber and Capitola seemed to make an impression on the Prospect audience although on second which hindered them considerably. A special brown drop is used, with an entrance in the centre over which is a purple curtain. The color of the drop is not attractive. The pair open with Capitola in a becoming gold and blue gown, and her partner in evening dress. They sing and dance and start calmly. “I Didn’t Know That Boys Did Anything Like That,” by the girl, was well liked. e has been using this son for some time and has gotten the thing down pat. Weber does a dance in a short red coat, with a little hat. His stepping is all in soft shoes, without any great variety of steps. The closing number is with the two in black and white costumes, the girl’s slightly abbreviated. “Youthful Prodigies” helps some and it looks as if Weber and Capitola should be able to keep the big boards.
