...audience in a continual series of hysterics. Honorable mention should be given as well to Mr. Brown's mouth. As a combination of both humour and music the manager offered Ted Lewis, which statement is quite sufficient unto itself; his saxophone and his wit are still in first-rate repair. And as the prettiest girl of the evening, we vote for Bird Millman, who left us all "Up in the Air" over her slack-wire dancing...
