At the afternoon show, with a crowded house and practically a holiday audience there being no school and a rainy day, this act made a big hit, but I was inclined to believe it was because of our class of audience more than the act itself and watched it very closely at the night show when they, by no means, lived up to the hit of the afternoon. In any house where the roughest kind of slap-stick stuff is appreciated and where an artistic side is not considered very much, they would make a hit. To say that it was boisterous would be putting it mildly. It is so coarse that it borders very strongly on vulgarity. I made more cuts in this act than I have in any ten acts this season. The girl’s dancing was a big hit at the night’s show as well as in the afternoon and their finish in one scored quite strongly, but I can’t see the rest of the act, altho’ I think it is worth playing, but not again for me. 22 min. open full stage with about 3 min. in 1, 2 shows, should be 3.
