...choruses will, in all probability, appear as maids-in-waiting on Cleopatra, imitating her wiles, or as their modern sisters on Broadway.

While that in the second act is most gorgeous and elaborate, the first act is played on an undecorated stage. The comedy skit "Antony and Cleopatra" is the high spot of the first act and yet the colored comedians perform as if in rehearsal, on the bare boards...
