Herr J. Rubens
“The newcomer, Herr J. Rubens, the lightning painter, is the novelty. Herr Rubens contends that he is a Munich academician, and he certainly handles a brush as if he knew his business. On a large canvas, in a frame, he begins with large smears of color, laid on as if he were whitewashing. Then swiftly, and withal with much art, he converts his canvas into winter landscape. Immediately following, [he] […] depicts a summer scene, with the same skill and speed.”
The Curson Girls
“Suspended by their teeth from fine wires, they appear literally to be flying, and their evolutions and final skirt dances are most taking.”
John World and Mindell Kingston
“Mindell, in a daring costume–it must be a costume, though there is little enough of it–does the latest New York song, with the vociferous aid of the audience, and World appears as an old actor, instead of the familiar tramp, and has the story-song that reminds one of a bit by Charles Giblyn a year ago at the Grand. Both together have some good numbers–and Mindell has a lovely diamond attached to her left stocking during her final number.”
