That such a long piece as "show Boat" does not wear on the spectator is ample proof that Ziegfield knew how to alternate his music, his choruses, and his skits, and above all he knew the settings to render each most effective. The scenes before the tent of the shimmy dances, in the 1892 World's Fair in Chicago, the aberations of Captain Andy Hawks, and the hawklike watchfulness of his termagant wife...
