...first act is supposed to follow the plot of "Antony and Cleopatra" with some original variations, musical numbers and specialties. In the second act the struggle between Caesar and Antony is settled on the football field with Cleopatra playing. Cleopatra forfeits the game, but in a return encounter Antony saves the day by a play which he secures from a soothsayer. By a twist of dialogue the misunderstanding between Antony and Cleopatra is cleared up, the desired happy ending is achieved, and King Mud grants the pair their freedom...

The Midget strong man, the Midget conjurer, the Midget "Cleopatra" with the winning ways--these and many more were there. The Midget cowboys did their stunts, the Midget soldiers marched, and the Midget singer rendered "Girl of My Dreams", while the beauties of the chorus went on miniature fashion parade. Taken all in all, a very good example of small people "going...
