Charles W. Bower-Edith Hinkle & Co.
Time 20. C.D.F. 2 men 1 woman. “Superstition.” A medius [sic], political, newspaper sketch with good comedy and dramatic interest. A novelty.
Victor Niblo’s Talking Birds
In 1. Time 12. The birds speak a sentence or two in French and German, but most of the work is in English. The act is a big novelty and went well.
Pollard
C.D.F. Time 14. First class burlesque juggler, with some straight work also good.
The Alpine Troupe
F.S. Garden. 3 women, 2 men. Work on parallel tight wires. A very flashily dressed feature. Clever workers and a fine closing act. Much of their work appears very difficult. They do a little ground tumbling at the close.
“The Models of the Jardin De Paris”
Carl Henry & Co. F.S. Special, close in 1. 5 women. 3 men. The lines and situations in many places are unquestionably “tough.” The general tone seems to place this act in a burlesque theater rather than in vaudeville. However there is some good dancing done and one comedian is excellent.
Nonette
In 1. Time 15. Dashing young person who plays on the violin popular music in splendid fashion. She also sings well. Her reception was remarkably big at the matinee.
Charles Leonard Fletcher
Time 22. F.S. Interior. 4 men and 1 woman. “His Nerve.” An unusual sketch with diverting plot. Much enjoyed.
Clifford Walker
In 1. Time 12. Monologist and songs at the piano. I honestly believe this material is too high class for the average audience anywhere. The material is well chosen but it would take a thorough knowledge of English army conditions to fully appreciate Mr. Walker’s work. Parts “got over”, notably the singing.
The Keatons
Open in 1, Main act F.S. with special back drop and miniature buildings about the stage. Close in 1. Time 12. 2 men, 1 woman. This is a crackerjack hooprolling act during a greater part of which the hoops are made to impersonate characters in a little comedy. The act is much improved over last appearance here.
Jack McKay
Time 14. In 1. Scotch comedian. Fairly good line of stories and songs.
