2 men and a woman, offering an act that is without sense, rhyme, or reason. There is some singing, some dancing, some comedy, and some talking. It is a disjointed affair, and could not be named. The balcony and gallery thought it immense. Those in the orchestra and boxes did not care much for it. I am Anxious to see what they will do with the night audience. CUT OUT – ‘What the Hell.’ And ‘I’m an Indian Jew.’ 23 min, pal in 4, close in one.
2 women and a man, in a sketch entitled ‘Mlle Ricci.’ The ‘company’ is very bad. The sketch could almost be considered a fall-down. It received very little applause at the close, and was apparently not as well liked as any one of the acts that preceded it. CDF 3. 17 min.
They offer a little sketch, which serves to introduce some singing and dancing. Mrs. Annie Yeamans received an ovation on her entrance. She seems to be well known here, and it was three or four minutes before the act could continue. However, I think that the audience tired of the act after a few minutes. On their close in one where in one where Mrs. Yeamans introduces her song and dance of 30 years ago, she received a great deal of applause. Good act. CDF 3, close in one, 17 min.
Famous cellist. Received some advance applause, and is sure to please all the music lovers. However, Cleveland is not a musical town, and this feature as the only head-line act will not draw one cent during the week. Up to this point the show has been very weak, and I doubt very much if this man can overcome the short comings of those that precede him. Very good act. Drop in one. 11 min.
2 men and a woman. From indications this afternoon, this is a greatly over-rated act. They cannot sing for sour apples, and their comedy is bad. The dancing carries the act, and they did get applause on this portion of their [sic] work. They seem to impress the audience as having an exalted opinion of their ability, and were it not for their dancing, this fact would land them up in the opening spot on the bill. 16 min, full stage.
This is a wire act and a very good one, composed of a man, woman and a young girl. It runs about 12 minutes full stage and is strong enough to close show.
Three men in an instrumental and vocal act. This is a very good act and always goes well in Cleveland. It is, no doubt, familiar to everybody on the circuit. 18 minutes in one.
In comedy sketch , “Fix in a Fix.” This is a good laughing act in spots. Nothing artistic about it, but would be classed as a good act. There are two male and two female characters in this sketch. The support being fairly good. 27 minutes full stage.
2 men, one in the character of a Jew and the other in that of a Dope Fiend; the act consists of talking, parody singing and is a very good act. 18 minutes in one.
Called Comedy Acrobat, two men and two women. The women, I believe were formally the Nelson Sisters. This act is only a fair one, the comedy part of it is bad. The little acrobatic stuff they had is all right in its way, but I would not care to play the act again. 12 minutes, full stage.
