Madam Butterfly at Fort Wayne Stirs Quiet Attendance
A Fort Wayne stage review praises the Madame Butterfly performance noting Madam Butterfly played by Strekoseh and Houston in two nights per week, Vernon Stiles as Takerte Nery, Cranston as a strong rival, Puccini’s score, and the tragic finale drawing muted applause. The piece also covers preopening stagecraft, a photo-snapper fiasco with Mrs Fiske, and a local artist Styles Dickinson creating a theater portrait for Miss Louisa Gunning amid Tom Jones performances.
