Description | The trapeze act by the youngest Banvards was the best event of the programme. The lime light for the club ballet seems never to come on at the right moment. Special reference must be made to the song and dance turn of Miss Nellie Marshall and Miss Florrie Banvard. Contralto Miss Hilda Harman is an acquisition to the company. The programme concluded with a farce: Circus Dick. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
