Tom Jack Trio
Man and two women in a novelty musical act. The numbers played on various instruments were well received. Although not a big hit the act went very well and made a very good operner. Garden in 3, 13 min.
George Austin Moore
Up to this point there was nothing doing and Moore really saved the show. The audience seemed to be almost asleep up to the time he entered. He must be given credit with not only waking them up but keeping them waked and rounding out a genuine qualified hit for himself. Scored a lot of laughs, a liberal quantity of applause and achieve a good strong finish.
Gus Edwards’ Night Birds
Have not yet received the salary of this act, but if it is very much we are bounced. The best thing in the whole offering form the audience’s standpoint was the special drop showing the birds. None of the numbers they offer scored, and there was a liberal allotment of off-key vocal effort. For a big act it did very poorly and was a decided disappointment. A weak finish, with hardly a chance for a solitary bow. 8 minutes, special set in 2.
May Elinore
A line of comedy songs and talk very similar to that formerly offered by Kate. She got along moderately well and secured some good solid laughs, but on the whole did not score heavily. Fairly strong finish. 20 minutes, olio in 1.
Lizzie Hayes & Jefferson Lloyd
In a comedy dramatic sketch, “Turning the Tables.” A fair little act that held the attention moderately well and managed to get by. No finish to speak of. 20 minutes, kitchen in 3.
Ray Dooley & Her Metropolitan Minstrels
Seven juveniles, who offer a routine of songs and gags, none of which are especially worth while. The talking end of the act drags, and the ensemble singing is not very good. The finishing number to some extent brought them out of the depths and the finish was just about get-by. Audience didn’t seem to care much for them. 16 min. in 2, close in 1.
Maximo
The Wire Marvel. This is a crackerjack wire act, the work of the performer being about as good as anything ever shown here. Had no trouble in holding attention all the way through. Punctuations of applause and a strong finish. 9 minutes, landscape in 4.
Raymond & Caverly
This thoroughly established team were one long scream. The audience applauded until it seemed to be thoroughly tired out yet would not let them go. Very few acts ever scored here as heavily as they did to-day. 21 minutes, street in 1.
Amy Butler & Her Four Comedians
This young woman scored an unqualified personal success, going unusually big. All of her individual efforts were well received. The four young men who assist her prove to be a highly valuable acquisition, their singing being one of the distinct hits. Each and every number won unstinted applause, and the quintette of performers were compelled to respond with many bows at the finish. 19 minutes, olio in 1.
Mr. & Mrs. Jimmy Barry
In “At Hensfoot Corners.” This well known act got along very nicely, although they didn’t go as big as on former occasions. The reason for this is undoubtedly that they are back too soon. However, they had no trouble in holding the audience all the way through, and the act must be credited with having a good strong finish. They will no doubt prove all right during the week. 22 minutes, special in 5.
