Two girls who play a number of instruments and play them very well. All of their selections are delivered in musicianly [sic] style and the made quite a favorable impression. A very pretty act and almost too dainty and pretty to open the show. They held the place very well and wore perfectly satisfactory. 10 minutes, C.D.F. in 3.
Ten in number. This troupe introduces acrobatic slack wire, perch, foot juggling, hand balancing, in fact about everything you would look for a Japanese to do, and all their work is cleanly executed and very capably presented. They make a nice appearance and the act looks quite big from the front. They earned solid applause through the entire time they were on the stage and finished in a way that would stamp them as a genuine success. Pales set in 4, 20 minutes.
Two women and a man, high class singing act which introduced a repertoire of standard musical numbers very successfully. All of their work was favorably received and they really finished strong. They gained the undivided attention throughout and seemingly pleased everybody. Typical 1 1/2, 20 minutes.
In a comedy sketch, “The Home Breaker”. Three women, two men. This act seemed to drag along and was apparent that the audience was only fairly interested in the saga during a good part of the time. There were some good laughs, however, and the finish was really very good, in the finish of the act struck me as about the best part of it. It was not a failure by any means but could only honestly term it a fair success. Was really disappointed in it, having heard in advance that it was something unusually good. The participants all worked hard and apparently left nothing undone to make it go. C.D.F., 20 minutes.
“The Man in Green”. Works in black face and gave a number of songs and talk, all of which went very well. Finished only moderately strong. 18 minutes, street in 1.
Man and woman in the “Clown and the Human Doll”. This a sort of a Phoroso act and the work of the human doll was very favorably received. The clown was satisfactory and the act seemed to make quite a favorable impression. Finished fairly strong. C.D.F. in 3, 17 minutes.
In “The Suit Case”. Two women, one man, two boys. This set is quick and lively, on the Georgia Cohan style of construction, having an abundance of action and plenty of laughter. It moves very rapidly and held the attention of the audience throughout. There is sufficient plot to the sketch to keep the interest up and it went very well throughout. They do a finish in one in which four of the members of the company do some dancing and singing. While far fetched this finish is very good for the set and they left the stage amidst liberal and genuine applause. The set is very good. Open C.D.F., close in 1—22 minutes.
“The Jovial Jester”. He has a repertoire of songs and talk all of which went unusually well, and up to this point he was as big, if not a bigger hit than anything on the bill. Made an excellent impression and finished unmistakably well. 21 minutes, street in 1.
Singers and dancers. Two rather clever young girls who introduce a number of songs with costume change for each. Their work was fairly good and the went moderately well. 11 minutes, olio in 1.
A number of very well trained Fox Terriers, man doing acrobatic work, women assisting. Very pretty little act which went fairly well. Garden in 4, 9 minutes.
