Assisted by Miss Marshall. Sketch entitled, “A Night Out.” It should be understood at the start that Mr. Stevens does not close in one. We thought he did, because he did last year, and the result was, we had to follow this act with the kinetograph to save a five-minute wait. His entrance is the same as last year, and the body of the act is the same, but he has shifted it a bit to give Miss Marshall a chance. She simply acts as a feeder, and has no chance to show her ability, if she had any. While Stevens is a thorough artist, and while his act is as clever and polished as it was last year, it did not seem to go as well today as I have seen it go in the past. The finish of the act is very weak. There is absolutely no climax, the act ending with a simple little song. C.D.F. in 3. 23 min. THIS ACT DOES NOT CLOSE IN ONE.
