“The Illness Of Tony Hart prevented his appearance at the Theatre Comique during the past week…Miss Jennie Worrell did not appear as announced…Miss Jennie Hughes sang new serio-comic songs containing hits on the times, which were lavishly applauded. Character dancing by Kitty O’Neil, songs in male attire by Little Jennie Yeamans, songs-and-dances by James Bradley… filled out the program.
