says of the company.
every seat in the theatre was sold
long before the curtain rose, and specta-
tor after spectator was obliged to range
himself in the standing room along the
walls in order to witness the entertain
ment that they knew beforehand would
be worth standing to see. And it was
worth it too, from bones to tambo, and
from first to last. The singing was good
the jokes were good and the specialties
excellent"
