The Three Dumonts
2 men, 1 woman. In 1. Time 17. This well known instrumental act scored its usual hit.
Frankie Carpenter, Jere Grady & Co.
2 men, 1 woman. Time 22. Special effective full stage. “The Toll Bridge.” A novelty comedy sketch chiefly notable for the excellent characterization of an old man which received genuine realism. There is a pleasant vein of humor which balances the serious side well.
Ryan & White
2 young men. Time 7. One of the best pair of dancers seen here in some time. Won generous applause throughout.
Boyle Brothers
2 men. Time 9. In 3. Hoop rolling, throwing and club juggling. Neat, fast and novel. High class and entertaining throughout.
Buckner
F.S. Time 16. 2 assistants. The biggest front of the season. With a stage full of imposing apparatus, Buckner comes out and stalls about mysteriously. Then he goes up an inclined ladder and rides down. This thrilling event did not bring up a single hand. Then he does a little work picking up a handkerchief while balancing himself on the wheel. The applause was not deafening. Then he rides down a few steps, without creating a riot. Finally he mounts a tower and after stalling for about five minutes he bumps down on a unicycle a series of steps set about three feet apart, down to the stage level. He closes with a little weak comedy consisting of jumping over six prostrate stagehands on a unicycle. The act is no headliner and does not justify any exceptional billing. Buckner may have been a sensation at the New York Hippodrome (as he asserts), but he far from one at the Cleveland Hippodrome.
Bowers, Walters, & Croker
Open F.S. Close in 1. Time 13. This funny acrobatic and dancing act scored a big laughing success at the Monday matinee.
Horace Wright and Rene Deitrich
In 1. Time 17. Wright has a pleasing voice. He should eliminate his efforts to displace Caruso. Miss Deitrich has a very sweet and powerful voice. She is the big feature of the act and acquits herself in an effective fashion throughout.
Edna Phillips
C.D.F. Time 15. 2 women, 3 men. Comedy sketch entitled, “Lost A Kiss.” The plot is novel. The sketch jumps along in a lively fashion to the tune of many laughs. It is bright and active. Nothing great but a good laugh getter.
Nanbo Troupe
In 3. 5 Japanese. Time 9. They do neatly the conventional line of Japanese work. They finish with one man walking on his head along a table and coming down steps in this manner. First rate.
W.C. Fields
1 man assistant. Open F.S. Palace. Close in 1. Time 20. This clever juggler made his accustomed hit. Comedy great. Some new material.
