...original figures, and thoroughly pretty, colorful costumes. We are not partial toward choruses; ordinarily we much prefer to have them stay off-stage entirely and leave the principals alone, but this chorus is an added attraction.

She lived on the top floor of No. 12 Barrow St. with her mother, Mrs. Holly, a one-eyed doll named Annabelle Lee and an agreeable young rabbit called Jane Demonstration. The mother was kind (her disposition was amiable and her bathtub had geraniums in it). But in spite of these blessings and the consolations of Christian Science as well, Amy May's happiness was incomplete, for she felt that Annabelle Lee should have a husband and she didn't know where...
