This place has been rather an unfortunate position. At the Monday afternoon performance, Creighton Brothers were an absolute fiasco, their material is bad, in fact, everything they attempted failed to get over. At the evening performance, Jerge and Hamilton, man and woman in songs and dances tried to fill the gap. They were a little stronger than Creighton Brothers but fell short. The woman makes a pleasing appearance, good voice, but extremely weak as a comedienne, trying to force her work. The man is a poor assistant; while he has a good voice, he lacks finish. Bert Terrill, a Tyrolean Yodler [sic] with an excellent repertoire, including a clever impersonation, negotiated the place in splendid manner. He is a good Dutch character vocalist, works fast and covers the entire stage during the rendition of his songs. Ten minutes in one.
