Van Fossen & McCauley
Black-face talking, singing and dancing act, peculiar style of eccentric dancing being the feature of their work. Good three a day turn. 17 min. in one, 3 shows.
Annie Abbott
Whatever business the show draws us this week it will be more due to the act of this girls than to all of the other acts combined. Her act was certainly a marvelous one and gave great satisfaction. 22 min. full stage, 2 shows.
Orpheus Comedy Four
Personally, I don’t care anything about these acts and I don’t think our average audience cares for that sort of slapstick comedy which is not very good and their singing only acceptable. They went pretty well this afternoon but I think we had a very easy audience as there is no school this week and there were a great many school children and young people in, with whom they found favor. 15 min. in 1, 2 shows.
Romani Trio
This is something of a novelty in the way of brass wind instruments. They dress neatly and the women are rather good looking and their music is quite acceptable. 11 min. open full stage, short close in one, 2 shows.
O’Rourke & Burnett Trio
This is the usual dancing act of O’Rourke & Burnett’s with the addition of their little boy who is the feature of the turn, and on his account they make quite a hit. 20 min. in one, 3 shows.
Miett’s Dogs
This is a very nice little dog act about the same as the usual dog act doing three shows. He has a nice neat apparatus and the dogs are bright and altogether they make good. 15 min. full stage, 3 shows.
Christian & Turner
Two coloured men who do a rolling-skate act, one of them doing comedy. The straight man is very good, in a small way, the comedian amounts to nothing. The act is a good one for an early place on the bill. 12 min. full stage, 3 shows.
McMahon & Chappelle
Man and woman who present a talking act in a very unusual manner and they have some new stuff and old jokes, so old that they are new, and that they get away with their work in great shape. The audience were highly pleased. I rather expected to see quite a little dancing which they didn’t have in their act, and in this way, I was mislead in the arrangement on the program. 18 min. in one, 3 shows
Rosaire
– This is a very nice little slack wire act and the man is assisted by a woman. She looks pretty and they have a little quiet comedy and all in all the act is safe any time before 8:30. 11 min. full stage 3 shows.
Cal Stewart
Yankee stories and songs. This man has some material which is new to us and has a pleasant method of delivering it. He was very well accepted by the audience and from a three day standpoint should be rated as quite good. 15 min. in one, 3 shows.
