Tacianu
This female impersonator is quite inferior to Eltinge, but he has a fine voice and he changes from high soprano to deep baritone with the greatest ease. His gowns are rich and on the whole he made a hit. 9 min. in one.
Clayton White & Marie Stuart
Presenting for the first time their new sketch “Cherie.” This sketch is fully up to the standard of “Paris” and “Dickie” but netter than either in the matter of refinement of lines and business. There is not the Parisian flavour so noticeable in the mentioned playlets, and it is full as acceptable to the women of our matinees as it is at night. 26 min. FS.
Agnes Scott & Horace Wright
Presenting “The Wall Between.” I cannot recall ever seeing a vaudeville playlet with so much heart interest as is contained in this little playlet of sentiment, and I cannot recall ever seeing in vaudeville a more charming and captivating ingénue that Miss Scott. Mr. Wright has a beautiful high tenor voice, and the playlet and players are a fine addition to the vaudeville stage, a tonic for the regular vaudeville patron a revelation to the occasional visitor. 23 min. FS
Le Brun Grand Opera Trio
This is one of the best singing acts we play, and it went very big with those who take delight in excellent vocal melody. 16 min. Open with prison drop. Close FS.
Mason & Keeler
Playing ‘A Hero.’ This is an exceptionally good act with Mason in a part that fits him like a glove. There is plenty of slang in it, and in a way it suggests the politician of Clayton White. 20 min, FS.
‘The Human Flags.’
This act calls for the billing to read ’17 Human Flags – 17.’ As there are but 12 girls in the act I refused to bill as instructed. While the act is a very good one I am of the opinion that it has depreciated a great deal since its last presentation here. Mr. Bryan’s successor is fully as good as the original but the girls do not present as wholesome an appearance, and there are but very few of the original girls in the act. I am of the opinion that their season in burlesque has had a bad effect on their discipline. 15 min, FS. Open in one about 3 minutes.
Julius Steger & Co.
Presenting ‘The Fifth Commandment.’ Mr. Steger has retained the same company as last season which shows his good sense for he would find it hard to replace W.H. Pascoe and John Romano. Helen Mar Wilcox is almost too old for the part of the daughter but she interprets her lines delightfully. The act was a big hit at both the afternoon and evening performance. 26 min. FS.
Bert Levy
Drawing on blackened glass the lines reflected in heroic manner on canvas. One of the best acts vaudeville can boast of. Mr. Levy is not only an artist of rare talent but his novel method of displaying it is highly entertaining. He has vein of comedy that is both clever and in very good taste. 14 min, FS.
‘The 5 Majors’
Five men dressed as English army officers, Solo and ensemble singing, and piano playing. Singing is better than the average, and piano playing is away above the average. A novel and entertaining act. 15 min. FS, Can close in one about one-and-a-half minutes.
‘Rose DeHaven Septette.’
Six girls and one young man, the latter carried for the purpose of opening in one with a song. As we did not need an opening in one the man was used just for a moment as chauffeur. The act is better if used this way. This is one of the best dressed acts we ever played, and it is thoroughly and decidedly pleasing. 30 min, FS.
