An exchange speaking Of the Reeves
English operate burlesque company and
their satire on Faust" gives the follow
ing pithy explanation OF what "Faust'
is and is not: ut is not a variety bur
lesque show, nor is it burlesque in the
ordinary acceptance OF the term, but it
is an operate performance universally
popular with the ladies. It isl musical
extravaganza, funny without being low,
spectacular without being coarse" Adj
ding to this the Syracuse Herald says:
Reeves burlesque OF Faust was
received with high favor at the opera
house asteyening. The special features
introduced were particularly pleasing.
The audience, despite the rain, was one
OF the largest OF the season. The same
