ducton Of piece called "The Siege Of the Blondes

much shorter than It's tte is broad and palpable hit AT
notorious folly OF the day throwing the French ana

no further Lydia Thompson, Elise Holt Mrs Florence
Emily Pitt Rose Massey, and Lisa Weber, with their
locks Of golden sheen songs, trial dances and fantastic
tricks are all brought into bold and brilliant relief
Like rich jewel IN an Enjoys ear"
The song and chorus OF the four blondes is rich and
happy revlval-fu Of humor il not OF grace; and the
dance by the four "Persian youths" with tiny feet
four feet in length is bit Of wild extravagauce rarely
e1celled in grotcsquo absurdity. The puns pointed
aIusions and gorgeous appointments OF the buresque
prove very effective and enjoyable to numerous ana
delighted audiences.
