Brooklyn outdid Broadway

Man with straw hat and comic mustache seated at piano on make-shift stage, accompanied by five elaborately dressed women (three sitting on piano). Caption: "Brooklyn outdid Broadway when the Senior League of the Williamsburg Settlement, 1719 Montrose Ave., staged a 'Gay Nineties Review' at the settlement's theater. Sally Levy won a star on her dressing room door with her version of 'The Last Rose of Summer' as sung to accompaniment by Roaul Gonzalez. In the prettier than pretty chorus were such lovelies as Sylvia Pearson, Lila Sternlicht, Jeanette Mazzarese and Terry Monte."
