Johnny Ford
Songs and dances, assisted by Roy Barton at the piano. 20 minutes in One. Mr. Ford’s songs are good, and his dancing immense. A big hit.
Edwin Stevens Assisted by Tina Marshall
In a sketch entitled “Cousin Kitty.” 25 minutes full stage. This is the same old sketch under a new name and with a new song or two. Some clever singing and high-class comedy by Mr. Stevens. Act went good.
Rosa Roma
Violinist. 9 minutes in One. Miss Roma appears in Bohemian costume. Her selections are both classic and ragtime, and include a vocal number. Good violinist, good voice, good act, and went good.
Byrne Bros
Athletes. Two men. 8 minutes, full stage. They use a small billiard table, with steps leading to it from each and to do their athletic stunts. Nearly everything they do is new. The cleverest act of the kind ever seen in this house. Went big. Splendid opener.
Karl Emmy & His Pets
A bunch of small dogs. Mr. Emmy has a very beautiful apparatus, which is the feature of his act, although the dogs are clever. At Sunday afternoon’s performance Mr. Emmy lost patience several times and used his and his small whip so frequently as to cause comment from ladies in the audience. He was urged to cut this out.
Melville & Higgins
In a sketch entitled “Just Married”. 17 minutes in One. Advance hand. This team has a good deal of new stuff and some old. A tremendous laughing hit. Big favorite here.
Carrie De Mar
Songs. 27 minutes in One. Advance hand. Miss De Mar has an elaborate act, with a special drop for each song. Her costumes are also elaborate. She singes “Trouserettes”, “For Sale—A Widow”, “The Matinee Girl”, “Three Days on the Ocean”, and “Lonesome Flossie”, all being new here, except “Three Days on the Ocean”. Every song was a hit. The act can really be called a production in itself. Every song was heartily applauded, and at the close the applause approached an ovation at both Sunday performances. High class work throughout.
Horace Wright & Rene Dietrich
Songs. 17 minutes in One. Good songs, and both are good singers. A classy act—went big.
Hastings & Wilson
“The Lunatics.” 10 minutes, full stage. They do some clever acrobatic stunts, grotesque dancing and burlesque strong man. Good comedy, plenty of laughs. Went good Sunday matinee and big at night.
Four Original Londons
Casting act. 7 minutes. Full stage. Daring and finished work of all four, and the best act of its kind in the business. Went big.
