Though billed as a musical causerie there is in this new entertainment far more of the tuneful than of the chatty, and if we are to accept the verdict of packed houses this is quite as it should be. A slender plot for which two obliging comedians apologize--why should they?--a variety of entertainment ranging from trick bicycle riding to a classic ballet, uncommonly good taste in the way of settings and costumes, and a chorus made up not of painted puppets but of spirited and gifted human beings--these are a few of the charms of a thoroughly novel entertainment.

Miss Hoffman does a number of her old imitations quite as cleverly as she has done them in times past but she is at her best in the ballet. Maurice adds particular distinction to this, and earlier in the play appears with Miss Florence Walton in three dances which are marvels for grace and rhythm.

To those who follow the theatre closely the fact that the production was personally staged by Mr. Ned Wayburn will be in itself a sufficient recommendation of a constantly diverting and colorful performance.
