l
! The Flirting Princess" has cone
i and gone and the people OF Cairo VINO
/ attended the performance yesterday
afternoon and evening at the opera
house are eXtrayagant in their praise
of the show and the work Of the com
pany
There were several things thai
transpired to give Manager Parks Of
the opera house something to keer
him busy during this engagement
First the train which brought the
company from Jackson, Tenn. va
two hours late, just how late was n
unknown quantity at first, and the
great crowd of matinee patrons were
held at bay In the lobby and in front
of the opera house until word was re
ceived that the train would arrive
at 2:i1 o'clock.
The second trouble occurred when
! the company did arrive and most OF
the fifty members fatty refused tt
wade into the dressing rooms in the
| basement of the theatre owing &c
about two inches of water being owe.
/ the concrete floors, which had IN
some mysterious manner gained Ell
trance from the street, after the great
| shower of the early morning. Al
though 1t was warm day Manag "
Parks had big fire built in the fur
mace to try to dry out the place and in
doing so the heat was another source
of trouble to contend with. No one
could blame the ladies' of the com
| pany from striking, under the circum
stance. Temporary dressing rooms
were improvised unon the stage by
Using pieces of scenery, canvas, etc,
| and some of the men had to stand on
the outside of the stage entrance tt
complete their toilets. 1t was no
wonder that 1t was as late as Az
o'clock when the rurtain was rung u2
The Flirting Princess" was all hat
| it had been advertised to be ant
more with the exception of the baic
| foot chorus which was eliminated
the girls probably hadn't time &c
wash their feet, although there Was
plenty of water in the basement with
which 10 do it, Unlike many other
attractions on the comedy and musi
cal order THE Flirting Princess
was play that had a plot and the
story was we'll told and held the n
terest throughout.
or course, the feature of the show
was the inimitable Harry Bulger q,
ways a favorite in Cairo and nc
doubt everywher. He Is well known
here, at least everybody seems tc
know him or know OF him.
The Princess Klioh by Eulalle Jan
sen was all that could be desird She
is quite versatile, a good actress
dancer and singer. In the Vampire
dance she highly pleased the audience
1T was a wierd fascinating ami
unique performance.
Maude Emory as Drucella Peck ex |
celled in the terpsichorian art and
Miss Dale Fuller as Araminto Bangs
was thoroughly original and very &C
ceptable in her difficult role. To
comment on the entire cast would be
only to say that they were all good.
The chorus is one of the best seen
on the local stage for many day
They were all good dancers as well 20
singers. All the music, solos and
choruses We're pretty, catchy and
and the hits were all clever.
The large audiences at both matinee
and evening performances will attest
to the merit of the show.
1t is the kid of show that pleases
everybody, no matter how exactine
they might have been. Ur
