James A. Kiernan & Co.

Location:
Theater:
Date:
ON at 2.48, 20 min, full stage.  Gave a short close in 1 this afternoon, which does not add anything to the act and which I will take out this evening, as we have enough material in 1.  A bright musical comedy sketch that bears the marks of “class” about it.  Miss Beardsley is a very handsome woman and it is a pity that she cannot sing as well as she looks.  Both James A. and Thomas Kiernan do excellent character bits, while Mrs. Bly, as the old slavey, is very good.  The only thing lacking in this sketch to make it a much more valuable offering than at present, is action.  As it is now, I would not wish to put it on after 3 and 9 o’clock.
