Two women and one man in a comedy and singing act which presents quite an element of novelty, the women opening the act in one and impersonating some East Side girls. Naturally this style of work goes much better in this town than it does elsewhere, but I was prepared to make some whole sale cuttings in the act of the account of the report from Philadelphia. Possibly the trimming up of the act over there put them on their guard, at any rate they did nothing or said nothing today that could give any offense. After their first appearance in one, the man comes on and gives a little monologue which is rather mediocre and then sings a song. There is then another change to full stage, when the women come in short dresses and sing a song, and then all three appear in very pretty ward-robe which is covered with Rhine stones and working on a semi-dark stage make a pretty effect. For this house at least, it is a mighty good act and went excellently this afternoon. 18 min, can open in one and close in one if necessary.
