Martinettie & Sylvester

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Comedy acre. 10 min. F.S. 2 shows. On at 7:36. Advance hand. These men have profited by Rice and Prevost and every other mat, table and chair knockabout act in the business. It is a gallery act and caught the top-heavy crowd strong. The acrobatic work of the straight man is very good and the funny falls of the comedian got uproarous [sic] laughter.  I think that because they were Philadelphia boys they went stronger than they otherwise would have done. However, they work swift and skillfully. It would be a ‘go’ anywhere.
