Honeymoon Turn Spoils Dainty Duchess at Em pire Theater

Laurence Weber shows the Dainty Duchess this week with Letta Meredith and William Inman in an awkward pantomime called The Honeymoon set in a bedroom. The act draws sharp critique for lack of cleverness and nastiness, while other company acts include Irish knockabout by Bryce, wooden shoe dancing by Milton and Woods, a musical turn by Woodruff and Alexander, and songs by Marie and Edna Mitchell. The Huntings’ acrobatic tricks stand out as the best portion, and Allen Wightman’s clay heads add a minor feature amid a well dressed chorus backing a burlesque finale.
