“This popular place of music was filled to overflowing last night by one of its characteristic audiences. The ‘White Crook’ seems to be as attractive in its place as its ebony namesake at the big house higher up town. ‘The United States Mail’ is a mixture of melodies and comicalities that is very entertaining, and Miss Ella Wesner seems to be a reigning favorite at this house. Mlle. Devere and the Holt Sisters executed some pas that delighted the beholders, and the ‘Flower Dance,’ by the female corps de ballet, made an especial feature of the performance.”
