- Abstract
- "Primrose and Dockstader's Minstrels" competed for first-nighters with Miss Simplicity (10 February 1902, Casino Theatre). They let it be known that there would be no semicircle, no bones or tambourine, and no plantation set. The material included Dockstader monologues and twin midgets, Johnny and Willy Goley, in an old-fashioned double clog, and the Jackson family, a troupe of dancing women.
Miss Simplicity: an operatic Comedy in two acts. Book and Lyrics by R. A Barnet. Music by H. L. Hertz. Dances arranged by M. B. Gilbert and Albertieri. Opened 10 February 1902 at the Casino Theatre and closed 29 March 1902 after 56 performances. - Source
