Review of The Four Mortons and Queen of the Highway at Academy
The Four Mortons features strong elder Irish comedy and a lively Soldier Song with dancing, plus a standout mime headliner Avery Strakosch whose voice elevates Dreamland and Annie Laurie. A sixill act by Riccobono’s trained horses, skilled tricks by Troba, and roller skate hilarity by Marcus and Gartelle heighten the program. Queen of the Highway at the Academy of Music stars Miss Helen McGowan with Alberta Lee and J Louis Ungerer in a Western circus romance, aided by horses, a Great Dane, and wolves, with impressive electrical effects.
