Those irrepressible, irresistible daughters of mirth, melody and lively entertainment, the Duncan Sisters, at last are to fulfill the keen anticipation of Bostonians who have heard so much concerning their success in Topsy & Eva, when these comediennes come to the Colonial Theatre, Monday evening, May 11. For two years the Duncan Sisters have been appearing in their production, and only two cities have seen them in that time, Chicago and New York.

Boston theatregoers treasure the happiest of memories of these two exponents of youthful vivicaciousness and disseminators of humor through individual methods. These methods are unlike those employed by any other entertainers of their sex, and the dissimilarity serves to raise them the further in esteem because there is always present the spirit of childish hoydenism that is the soul of humor and captivating in the extreme.

Topsy and Eva was written especially for the Duncan Sisters by Catherine Chisholm Cushing, and though it is announced that the story of the musical comedy was founded upon Uncle Tom's Cabin, the theatregoer may rest assured that there is little of the harrowing dramatiticisms of that honored old classic of the theatre in their offering. It is merely a medium for the activities of Rosetta and Vivian in comedy and songs and the presentation of assisting artists. That such extraordinary success has attended their offering attests the entertaining qualities it possesses.
