Laddie Cliff
Grotesque singing and dancing. 16 minutes in One. practically the same work he did here two seasons ago. A tremendous hit. One of the biggest things in a big show.
“Everywife”
25 minutes, opening three minute in One; plush curtains, then alternatively to full stage and in one the four scenes. This probably the biggest and best production in all respects ever seen in this house. Today (Monday) it is the talk of the town. Scenery fine, costumes beautiful, and acting superb. No low comedy—no burlesque, and everything in a curious vein. Made big impression on both Sunday audiences.
J.T. MacConnell
“President of the Thirteen Club.” 20 minutes in One. Mr. MacConnell has two confederates in the audience who afterwards ascend to the stage, and the three do some great singing. MacConnell’s monologue is immense. The work of the two confederates is also very clever, and the act makes a big hit.
Connelly & Webb
Man and woman, in the same old act, “A Stormy Finish”. Great favorites here. Connelly’s piano-playing is a big hit. Great finish, and act went big.
Marie Russell
Character songs. 14 minutes in One. Miss Russell works hard. She has some dashing costumes, going from a red costume to green, then to purple and gold, then to white. She sings well. Went good at Sunday matinee—much better Sunday night. Act open next week.
Selbini & Grovini
14 minutes full stage. Man and woman. They do a lot of clever things, play guitar and mandolin, acrobatics, bat and stick juggling and bicycles. Very clever; see fast work at the finish. Good opener.
Geo. Rolland & Co.
In “Fixing the Furnace.” Comedy sketch that approach very closely to vulgarity. Of course some people laugh at this smut. After Sunday matinee, the sketch was disinfected, and made presentable to decent people. It is a good laughing finish. OPEN NEXT WEEK.
Owen Clark
Master magician. 6 min. F.S. During the brief time Mr. Clark is on the stage, he does several immensely clever tricks, but his act is all too brief. Speaking of this, he said that while he could do fifteen minutes, it was impossible to do it and open the show, as the last ten minutes of his act consists of talking, and is full of comedy. MEMPHIS, TENN.
Romano & Delano
Equilibrists. 9 min. F.S., own drop. Some clever head, hand and foot balancing. Act dragged, with good finish by one man coming down an incline standing on his head on sort of a roller skate. INDIANAPOLIS.
Henry E. Dixey
Open 15 min. in two, closes 3 min. in one. Mr. Dixey calls his act “A Mono-Drama-Vaud-Ologue.” He does a little of everything singing, dancing, magic, recitation, etc., blending one into the other, holding the audience throughout, and producing, as a whole, an act of high class. Advance hand at both performances Sunday. Went big. OPEN.
