Full cast list. Mrs. George Ware performs “an entirely new repertoire of songs, written especially for her by Mr. Ware.” Crayton and Maas appear in “opera bouffe burlesques.”
“Mr. and Mrs. George Ware made their metropolitan debut at the Metropolitan Theatre on Oct. 27. They sang duets which met with a fair degree of favor, although their performances need curtailing…Billy Carter sang a new song, written and composed by himself, and entitled ‘India-rubber Sal,’ which elicited much laughter and applause…Miss Gussie Creyton [sic] and James Maas performed quite satisfactorily a musical sketch entitled ‘Hiawatha’s Wooing’…” Lists more sketches.
