On at 8.14, 27 min full stage, 4 min close in 1, 31 min in all. I must confess that I was nervous about this act, on account of Wilbur’s burlesque training, but I am pleased to state that the act, while distinctly low-comedy, got by without a cut on account of any objectionable matter. It certainly got a lot of laughs, and while I question its being worth $850, it is without a doubt a good comedy act. Tonight is the first time the act has ever closed in 1, but there is no reason why it should not do so any time, as I think it strengthens the finish. Burke, who handles the act, does not feel that it is perfect yet and is using his best endeavors to improve it in every way possible. It is certainly a novelty to see six sisters working together, as do the O’Connor Sisters with this production. I have suggested to Burke that he quicken the action in places and get the act so that it runs in 25 min. Then this is done it will be pretty fast-moving vehicle.
