Boston Bros.
A good acrobatic act. We have had Ali’s Arabs here, so that the others in the same business have a hard time to make good. Act runs about 6 minutes.
Frank & Jen Latona
A very good musical act. Mr. Latona in his tramp makeup gets quite a few laughs. His wife, Jen Latona is a very good piano player, and her selections go big. She is also a good singer. Time of act about 30 minutes, of which fully 10 minutes is in one. The act is a big hit here.
Smirl & Kessner
In a comedy acrobatic act called the “Bell-boy and the maid”. This is a good act of its kind. The acrobatic end of it good. Dancing fair. Encore in one with the dog is very good, giving the act a strong finish. Time, 17 minutes, with 4 minutes in one.
Albertus & Millar
A comedy juggling act. Miss Millar is a very good cornet soloist. The club juggling is only fair, but some of the comedy is good. Full stage 14 minutes.
The Joselyn Trio
In “Their Pictures in the Air”. This act is nice to look at. They do nothing that is out of the ordinary but it pleases and that’s about all. Their paraphernalia is suspended over the center of the stage. They have a dark backing and work in white tights with the lights all out excepting a spot light which gives the act a very attractive appearance. Time, 14 minutes in full stage.
Emmett Corrigan & Co.
In his race track drama entitled, “Jockey Jones” or “The Day of the Handicap”. The scene is laid in a hospital and the sketch is of a melodramatic nature. There are four people in the cast and they are all good and the play is nicely done. The audience here didn’t enthuse over it very much, due to the fact no doubt that the people here are not very familiar with the race track terms. I believe the sketch will be better received in the east than here, however it’s a good act though nothing great. I have seen other that I prefer. 22 minutes, full stage.
Katherine Bloodgood
“The Contralto Singer”. Don’t like her selections. Think they are the poorest she has yet offered. However she is in good voice and was well received. Time, 10 minutes in one.
Adelaide Herrmann
“Queen of Magic.” This act is familiar to everybody on the circuit. She intends putting in one or two new tricks before the week is out, otherwise, she is doing the same thing she has done before. Time, 28 minutes, full stage.
Robert Hilliard & Company
In his sketch called “Number 973”. This act is also familiar to every house on the circuit. He was well received here at both performances yesterday. Don’t think he draws any money, been seen here so often, however, his act is very good. The newspapers all speak very highly of it. Time, 22 minutes, full stage.
Sarel Johnson
A soprano of considerable ability. Her selections are well chosen. She gave a selection from “The Singing Girl”, then an Indian Kick-a-poo song, then a Medley, finishing with “Coming Thro’ the Rye” which went big. About 13 minutes in one.
