An “intensely funny pantomime . . . The drolleries of the ‘two Foxes,’ G.L. and C.K.. are kept up without ceasing, and the tricks and transformations, many of which are entirely new, are done so quick and clean that even old stagers are puzzled to know ‘the how.’  The Harlequin of Tony Denier is a very lively piece of acting, and the Columbine of the pretty and fascinating M’lle Martinetti, now the principal danseuse of this establishment, will always repay a second visit.”
