Crouch & Welch
Man and woman known as “that lively pair”. 16 minutes, full stage, including three minutes closing in One. Some good whirlwind dancing and good comedy. Lots of fun. Many good laughs.
Paul Barnes
Monologue. 17 minutes in one. Has a hard time working up to a response from the audience. Has a rather indifferent style, and acceptable that way by the audience. Made up with a couple of good parody songs. His monologue on the umbrella got some laughs. Mr. Barnes needs some new material, and a little ginger in his work. Went fair.
Three Brownies
Three boys still in their teens in eccentric dancing and novelty roller skating. 14 minutes, opening 4 minutes in One, then to full stage. They do some good dancing, the burglar dance being noteworthy, also some very clever dancing on rollers, and some good comedy. Went good.
Gus Edwards Song Revue
40 minutes. Opening in One and alternating between One and full stage throughout the act. Some of the features of last year’s Revue are retained, and a number of scenes and features are new. Mr. Edwards himself occupies the centre of the stage most of the time, and all of his assistants are extremely clever. The act is vastly better than last season, and it was big then. It is probably safe to say that this is the biggest and best act, in all respects, that has ever been in this house. Went big throughout.
Leo Anger
“The German Soldier.” 15 minutes in One. Mr. Anger has some new material, and considerable of his old. Had them laughing throughout and scored a hit.
Camille Ober
Vocalist. 14 minutes in One. Miss Ober sings four songs, reaching the highest known vocal notes. All four songs went big. Her costumes are also very attractive, and the act, as a whole, is classy.
McDevitt, Kelly & Lucy
In a sketch called “The Piano Movers.” 20 minutes, full stage, including 4 minutes close in One. One woman and two men. The men are the whole show. They do some grotesque dancing and piano-playing that are great. They are a big scream. One of the best comedy act ever seen here.
Hickey’s Comedy Circus
10 minutes full stage, introducing a pair of ponies, revolving table and two trick mules. The mules are the features of the show. It is a tremendous scream and sends the audience away in great shape. The best and most laughable closing act of the season.
Eva Tanguay
25 minutes in One. Advance hand. Among Miss Tanguay’s songs are “The Penny Song”, in which she throws Lincoln pennies to the audience, “The Tanguay Rag”, “Give an Imitation of Me”, “Who’s Loony Now?” and “I Don’t Care”. Miss Tanguay worked hard both matinee and night. She is the same old Tanguay, and took both house by storm, receiving numerous recalls. A tremendous hit.
Sam Chip & Mary Marble
In a Dutch sketch entitled “In Old Eden.” 22 minutes, full stage, own act. This is the same old act. Chip and Marble are both exceedingly clever, and the act went big. One of the hits of the show.
