2 shows, 22 min, open full stage, close in 1. First time here for this couple, who were given too difficult a place in the bill for them to negotiate. Mr. Sloan makes up like Louis Mann, while Miss Wallace, who is a handsome woman, dresses with excellent taste. The sketch in which they appear, ‘The Plumber,’ is not nearly so good as many others that could be named in vaudeville, and Mr. Sloan does not show up so strongly in vaudeville as he did in musical comedies. Miss Wallace never had a voice that reached beyond the chorus and her solo in this sketch is a frost. They will be given an easier place in the bill this evening, and for the balance of the week but from the standpoint of ‘making good’ their salaries, they hardly come up to expectations.
