Sketch “The bell-boy and the Waiting Maid” This act was down to close the show but I think it is a wise move to place them here. They did not well today. They seemed to lack action and ginger. If they would do less “Kidding” and more work it would greatly improve the act. While Mr. Smirl’s acrobatic work is good it seems that he has to have at least two minutes rest between each somersault. This sparring for time greatly detracts from the value of the act. C. D. F. in three, close in one, 18 min. Cuts- “Aint it a Beaut” and “The Corkscrew will now Dance” (This referring to his wife).
