Man and woman in a juggling and acrobatic bicycle exhibition. This is a corking good act. They both work rapidly and accurately, and although the hands and arms of the people in the audience were paralyzed by the heat this act received hearty and liberal applause. A very good act, strong enough to close the show. F.S. 10 minutes.
Man and woman. Singing eccentric dancing and impersonations. Quite a good little act of the kind and well worth the money. Drop in 1. 11 minutes.
Dealers in harmony and fun. Four men in character, sailor, dude, German and American. The singing of this act went very good, but their comedy was dragged out so that it made the act lag. Nevertheless they finished very strong and had to take an encore. 25 min. Drop in one.
Comedy singing and dancing duo. A man and a woman. Their comedy and singing is only fair but what they lacked in this they made up in their dancing. The act closed very strong with good applause. C.D.F. 12 min.
Two boys doing a colored singing and dancing act one of them dressed as a wench. Because of the many cuts made on the stage that they would have to behave or I would close them. The result was that they sobered down and have use a corking good act without using any of the stuff that had previously been cut. While it is not just the act for this spot on the bill they managed to get by with considerable laughter and a great deal of applause. Drop in 1. 17 minutes.
Act is well known on the circuit. Four men and three women. Instrumental musical act, with a little singing that is weak. While the act went well, it did not go half as well as I expected and was far from making a hit. The audience seemed very cold to the whole show and this may account for it. Special scenery. 23 minutes. Open and close in one.
Four men and one woman. Comedy juggling act styled after the Agoust Family. These people are much more versatile than the Agoust Family. Their juggling is much better and of greater variety. The act is not dressed as well but seems to please just as much. Some of the individual work was extremely clever. A very good act. Palace in 5, 8 minutes.
Vocalist, billed as the Alabama Rose Bud. Sang thee songs, gave a few imitations and closed with a little ventriloquil work. Just about strong enough to hold down this place on the bill. Received a little applause. 13 minutes, drop in one.
Assisted by the Sharp Boys. Black face singing and dancing act, with special plantation scenery. While this is a good act it didn’t have a chance on earth following the Williams and Walker Glee Club. The two acts should never have been placed one to follow the other on any bill. They conflict and that does not express the half of it. In the night show I will split them by four acts. Leonard has a good act, one that would stand on its own merits on any bill, but he was unfortunate in being made to follow the best colored vocal act I ever heard. The dancing of the Sharp boys was liberally applauded. Special set in 4, close in one. 17 minutes.
Fifteen colored gentlemen working in dress suits. Double septette and the director. One of the best vocal acts I have ever heard in vaudeville. Made a pronounced hit this afternoon. Very good act. Palace in 5, close in one. 19 minutes. Took four curtain calls.
