Two women and two men making their initial appearance. Were received enthusiastically and their xylophone playing shows they are excellent musicians on that kind of an instrument. 10 mins. in one.
in “The Man From Denver,” was one of the great big hits of the bill. Mr. McCree’s dope fiend character is very clever, but I am of the opinion that he could get more out of it. He has abundant opportunities for comedy lines. 28 min. F.S.
Two men and a woman who received almost an ovation presenting “Scene from Faust”. Edith Decker the Soprano has a marvelous voice of high range and sweetness and under absolute control. 11 min. F.S.
This act is on the European order. Two men and a woman in a refined comedy dancing act. Go quite strong. 10 mins. F.S.
Two men appearing here for the first time. Went strong with the audience. They have some good parodies. On the whole they are quite satisfactory. 19 mins. in one.
Two men and a woman in a bag punching and athletic act. They have a novel apparatus on tight wire and for an opening act go exceedingly good. 12 mins. F.S.
Simms has combined two acts in one, giving us “Flinders Furnished Flat.” Which he presented here about five years ago, and also giving us for a finish his monologue or impersonations, whichever you wish to call it, which he gave on his last appearance here. The act is too long and is not the “scream” I expected. 29 min. FS.
In “Auntie’s Visit.” This is the best act for the children we ever had, and is also very pleasing to their elders. Over 1,000. Women and children visited “Buster” on the stage after the Monday matinee performance. 25 min. FS.
Irish contralto. Miss Clarke has grand voice particularly when she sings in the upper register but her longer notes are quite ordinary. She brought some new songs here and appeared to meet with popular favor. 21 mins. in one.
Presenting the burglar sketch “No. 973”. This act is almost too well known to require extended mention. Suffice to say that it is the most interesting sketch in vaudeville and is superbly presented. 25 mins. F.S.
