The part that they play in this successful production is original with them, Miss Vinnie Henshaw, whose likeness appears herewith, bears a decided resemblance to the famous beauty, Lillian Russsell, and she is often taken for the well known singer. The Fransioli’s act is the portrayal of people in the lower walks of life. In this line they are supreme, and they bring into the portrayal that refinement that eatches on with any audience. Miss Henshaw is one of the most popular and well-liked women in the profession, and she has been the recipient of many honors and presents at the hands of her admirers, for her many acts of kindness to not only members of the profession but also those outside.
