Dewey-The Trocaderos.
Waldron & Bryant's gorgeous burlesque
production, "The Trocaderos, opens an
engagement at the Dewey theater, com
mencing tomorrow matinee. Originality
is the key note Of the success of the
Trocadero Burlesquers. The managers
aim to get the best possible material OBJ
| tainable in the ranks of vaudeville and
have gathered a company of high-class
performers each star in his particular
line. The girls selected for the chorus
are among the handsomest and most tai
ented in burlesque. In the matter of
| scenic equipment and costuming, there is
said to be not a better staged or dressed
! show now touring the country. The We
| hicles in which the clever comedians and
| pretty girls are introduced are two lively
and laughable skits. The first part is
entitled Prince Henry's Reception and
! is a breezy satire on the doings Of the
| Kaisers brother while on a visit to this
country. Larry Smith plays the Prince
and is ably assisted in the fun making by
! that clever comedian, w. NJ McEvoy,
/ who assumes the part Of his valet. The
/ closing burlesque is called '"The School
of Love- and it is said to be one of the
1 scented.
The olio will present John T. Powers
comedian; Larry Smith and Mamie
Champion, a clever comedy sketch team;
Carrie Massoney and Martha Hablemen,
two accomplished vocalists; the three
Herbert Brothers, wonderful acrobats;
Worlds Comedy -Four; Kelly and Reno,
, comedy acrobats.
