...simple at times being almost tedious in its leisurely narration. Particularly is this noticeable in the last act when the entire cast takes a hand in dabbling with anti-climax.

She put over her numbers with a clear, high voice, an arch swagger, and, like all the rest of the company, a world of vitality. Cora Green provided an acceptable contrast, and the gentlemen of the company were always ready to oblige with a laugh...
