Big Banner Show

The first part speed quickly, a short but lively olio of three acts following. The second act closed the performance, and passed rapidly also. Each number is attractively costumed. Tights are frequent, but never worn vulgarly nor is the dressing t be complained of. Even in one Scotch number where all the girls wear kilts exposing their bare legs, the effect is attractive. Al Shean plays the principal comedy role of the German hotel keeper. For the information of the management which seems to think a “Dutchman” in the first act would help that portion and the comedy of the show. It might be said that the performance as given last Friday night seems just right. Annette Goldie is the servant, in grotesque dress. She leads a number in the second act, called ” Four Eyes, ” well put on. Ruth Benton had a small role and a couple of the chorus girls were the gendarmes. There are sixteen choristers. Taking choruses as they run, this lot is extra good.

Grace Dixon

The act was ten minutes long. Dixon is “just another girl who sings”, though with a prettier dress than most.
