All Right has recovered from his fall and will reappear.
“There was a pretty fair audience at the Academy of Music last night to welcome back the Japs from the 'Beb,' and especially the bright little favorite, 'All Right,' in his wonderful feats. From the 'presentation of the entire troupe,' in which they solemnly touch the ground with their foreheads (a very inconvenient mode of salutation on Broadway in wet weather), to the 'enchanted ladder' which Hamaikari Sakadichi, Esq., supports on the soles of his feet, the entire gymnastic programme was very interesting. As the troupe sail for Europe on the 10th inst., this is their last week in New York, and no one should miss seeing them.”
Brief: “The return of the Japanese to the Academy was last night enthusiastically greeted by a large audience. Little 'All Right' was the hero of the occasion, and demonstrated that he was, in fact, 'all right.' The company only perform [sic] during the present week.”
“Little 'All Right' appeared on the opening night in the tub act, but was so weak and faint from his sickness that he could not perform the flight from the proscenium to the circle. During the week business was only moderate, owing, no doubt, to the very warm weather.”
