Crawford and Manning

Date:
Type:
Two black face comedians in an eccentric talking, dancing, and grotesque acrobatic specialty. These people do a pretty good act, but they are not really strong enough for the place in which I am obliged to put them this week. They should be on about 8 o’clock, or 8:30 at the latest, but as they open and close their act in one there does not seem to be anything else to do but put them were they are. They do all right, but it would be much better if they could go on elsewhere. 17 minutes, open and close in one.
