Description | "The first part was the usual [Christy] minstrelsy business but the corner-men's jokes were new to Coolgardie; Ida Holbein was 'Interlocutrix.' To see dancer Mr Mooney mix himself up with the furniture is alone worth the price of admission. Acrobat Ouda has a face and figure like a Greek God ... and the suppleness of a whole family of monkeys." First half concluded with a farce, Domestic Troubles. the second half was devoted to the Lumiere cinematographe. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
