The brothers are first-rate
hard shoe dancers… Besides her dancing
(and she has an advantage in being able
to do several styles) Caprice has a voice
that comes very near being a regular one,
and she doesn’t have to talk her songs.
And
Miss Harcourt might dispense with the
soubrete costume. That style has passed
away. She makes a pretty picture in a
“kid” dress.
A stand is placed down centre
and a terrier, mounted on a pony, jumps
upon it at each circle of the ring, leaping
back upon the mount as it passes beneath
him. Then two ponies and dogs are
worked at the same. Here comes a laugh
at the pups’ quivering anxiety to catch
their mounts in time, but when, one by
one, the ponies and dogs are worked up to
five, the laughter and applause are immense.
