Description "In the curtain-raiser Emancipation, Miss Jerger in her representation of the masculine wife fairly surpassed herself... while Mr. Basing proved himself to be an actor of no mean ability in his representation of the hen-pecked he. Miss Jerger's performance in Confusion evinced careful thought and study ... Miss Mark scored a pronounced success; Mr. Basing ... seized every opportunity to bring out the point of the clever sketch to best advantage. Mrs. Godfrey Castieau recited Smite the Rock, while Mr Cahill sang Ben Bolt."
