Allurements of a Bowery Theatre review in New York
A lively critique of a London Bowery theatre bill in New York World notes a three hour show with thirty to forty songs and a play for twenty five cents. The writer mocks the Acme Quartet, Paris episode, Eden Musee effects, and nine women in male dress, then praises Juteau aerial act and a humorous villain. He closes with punchy reflections on the crowd and stagecraft, comparing it favorably to frontier theaters.
