A Ballet Girl at Park Theatre Impresses as English Novelty
The Park Theatre opened with A Ballet Girl, an English novelty about a incunbnas artist and a rich heiress in disguise at a seaside village. The plot thickens when the heiress is mistaken for the heiress by the earl’s son and Faradelle, the theatrical director, moves the action to the Folies Theatre. A tuneful aria and topical songs, plus a strong company led by David H. Lythgoe, Edouard Jose, Marie Hilton, Arline Crater, and Louise Willis-Hepmer, frame a finale uniting artist and heiress with a celebrated contortion act Amorette.
