Two nice looking young women one of whom sings well, the other being a violinist and mandolinist [sic]. Despite the old selections they used, their act was received with considerable enthusiasm. It is a pretty and refined act in one. 17 minutes.
In imitations of well known actors. Especially good were those of Johnny Ray, Jimmy Russell and Joe Jefferson. He carries special scenery using two different sets for Jefferson’s “Rip Van Wrinkle”? He has gone to considerable trouble and expense in working up this act, and it is a very creditable one. He is assisted by three people. Opens in one, closes full stage. 23 minutes.
Juggling act, man and woman. They have a series of very old tricks which they do rather poorly, the woman being especially bad. Full stage closes in one. 11 minutes.
F.S. open. Special trapeze apparatus. A skillful performer on the trapeze. Quiet and effective methods. Graceful and attractively developed.
In 1. Time 20. Black face singer and talker. Voice first class. Jokes new and broght [sic]. Everything good with the exception of a serious attempt at pathos which doesn’t work out well in his comedy make-up.
3 men. F.S. time 7. A rough and tumble comedy bar act. A scream from start to finish.
In 1. Time 16. Pianologue, spoken songs, imitations. A very clever and artistic woman. Original material and methods. Charming stage presence.
2 men. In 1. Time 15. Singing and dancing. One man is very clever. The other is passable. Their close in which they do an eccentric dance as old men, is the best part of their work and it is very good.
F.S. special. Assistants, 2 men, 1 woman. Time 22. A series of very clever bits of magic, but nothing unusually spectacular or new except the scenery. The exhibition is a little disappointing, if much has been expected.
F.S. special black panorama. 3 men 1 woman. Time 11. The best hoop rolling, juggling and tricks ever shown here. Everything neat, fast and clever. Deserves much better position.
