Queen of Hearts

The corps of the Queen
"Queen of Hearts in part a vehicle to display the talent of the junior members of the club, was seen in a pre-performance premiere by the loyal members of the Women's Musical Club, and one of those singled out by the Tribune's SRM for special praise was David Adams, playing the knave -- 'In a difficult role for a little boy, (he) was most realistic and proved a fine actor.' This was not Adam's first stage apeparance -- he had been seen in Triple Alliance the previous time -- but the review seems to have been the first written notice of his career as a dancer. He was 13."
