Time 8. 2 men. In 1. Acrobats. The act opens with one man appearing announcing that the act cannot appear. The partner, a rube seated in a box, begins to call the one on the stage down. Then follows a good line of comedy interchange that wins frequent laughter. The “rube” goes on stage and the two offer some fast flipflops somewhat original.
In 1. Time 11. Men dressed as woman doing ventriloquial work. Technically the work is good, but the act lacks action and variety, Thora working with only one “dummy”, seated at the table throughout.
2 men. Time 13. Special exterior in 3. Excellent eccentric dancing and grotesque acrobatics. Several startling twists and turns. Very good act.
9 women, 5 men. Time 26. Open F.S. special, to 1, close F.S. also special. The act is beautifully costumed and elaborately staged. As might be expected of a Lovenberg act, the soloists are all excellent, and the ensemble highly effective winning prolonged applause. Henriette Keyes and Henri Santrey have truly remarkable voices. The selections are from Grand Opera and the better grade of musical comedies. The finale during which paper ribbons are thrown into the audience in keeping with Venetian carnival illusion, is effective, novel and held the audience to the last. Applause generous throughout.
In 1. Time 12. Dialect songs. Mr Pettengill is a local amateur who belongs to the Hermit Club. His dialect songs are good and his closing with an imitation in costume of Eva Tanguay was a riot. His personal popularity about town went far in his success.
Man, woman, young woman, 2 boys. Time 20. C.D.F. Presenting “The Suit Case”, by Searl Allen. The sketch is the best yet by Allen. It is a neat farce, well complicated and cleverly worked out. It seems a little too long, but is genuinely novel. After the sketch the family indulges in dancingfest, the two boys doing clever work.
4 women, 2 men. Time 10. Special F.S. This excellent instrumental act is just 365 days better than last year. Score tremendous hit.
C.D.F. Time 16. La Triska as a “mechanical doll” is very clever and could scarcely be improved upon. She won frequent bursts of applause. Horton carries her out to the audience fo [sic] “examination” and gets screams of laughter.
In 1. Time 10. Sings with pleasing voice several songs and tells a few college-y jokes. Gets by in this spor [sic] in good shape.
