Description "The high kicking of Misses Nellie Marshall and Emmie Smith revealed a wealth of white lace and an appreciable quantity of black stockings... 'Aunty' by Jack Williams caused roars of laughter, as did the clever 'Diablerie grotesque' of Will and Ted Banvard and Miss Marshall. The Banvard Family were the feature of the second part... The entertainment closed with a laughable farce, which had the virtue of being really funny and also short."
