i SHOW FoR MEN ONLY
The May Davenport Burlesque Company
at the Metropolitan.

The May Davenport Burlesque Company
at the Metropolitan.
Tire May Davenport Burlesque Com
pany came here last night heralded by
''roasts,' but the half had not been told.
1t is beyond doubt the rankest, rottenest
show that has ever struck this town.
Even as a show "for men only it was
a failure.
As for histrionic talent nobody ex-
pected that in a burlesque company, but
one did have a right to expect at least
one new joke or one bright song. But
nary joke was there that even the great
est bore would have the face to tell. And
what was worse, the gags were not only
aged but flthy-they literally reeked
III slime-not by suggestion, but by bare,
bold words. Indeed there was little
about the show that was not bare.
1t has been said that lone should learn
how to sin beautifully" Vice should be
gilded to be made attractive. This per-
Torrance was entirely without that
gilt-varnish. 1t was low, coarse vulgar
ity, without point or excuse, absolute
filth, which should be spoken OF ir
patQias
1t is a pity Raleigh has no DR.. Park
hurst to suppress such indecent per-
formances This is the second one of
the kind here within the past two weeks.
A better show than either one of them
can be seen in any New York saloon any
day for a drink.
The character Of the show can be
judged by the fact that one of the boxes
was occupied by two colored demi monde
from the Bowery, while the women of
the company sat in an opposite box,
peeping through the curtains and firt-
ing with the men on the bald-headed
row.
