This photograph captures the enchanting performance of Mary Augusta "May" Yohe as Little Christopher Columbus in the 1913 revival of the burlesque opera "Come Over Here" at Oscar Hammerstein's London Opera House. Twenty years after her original performance in this two-act musical production, Yohe once again graced the London stage with her charm and talent. Produced by Wilson Mizner and Max Pemberton, "Come Over Here" featured music by Ivan Caryll and Gustave Kerker, and a libretto by George R. Sims and Cecil Raleigh. The opera, which opened on April 19, 1913, showcased Yohe's exceptional vocal abilities and comedic timing in the title role of the young explorer. Dressed in an elaborate and colorful costume, Yohe exuded confidence and charisma as she brought the character of Little Christopher Columbus to life.
