Irishman’s Dream Night Relics and Burlesque at Park Theater
A humorous sketch features an Irishman and a genius visit with a breakfast and a meal delivered by costumed negroes. Mrs. O’Toole’s rage leads to a dram of ambrosia, a dreamlike interruption, and a rapid retreat. The program praises Nawn, Sugar Midgley, Gertie Carlisle, Bruett and Reviere, Madge Fox, Josephine Sabel, the De Courtney brothers, the Tossing Austins, and a Biograph finale. McFadden's Row of Flats at Park Theater, a corruption satire with Baumgartner vs. McFadden, dominates the bill. The second act includes a fancy dress ball and several songs, while the third offers further Irish and German bits. The Navarros perform new tricks in Parisian Widows at the Empire.
