Anna Vivian
Anna Vivian and company, starting a good bill, received fine applause at the conclusion of the good shooting act, singing and shooting the melody of “Endearing Young Charms” on musical targets.
Gus Elmore and Esther
Gus Elmore and Esther employing a circus act secured laughs on Elmore’s wild man antics following his book character and the girl’s fragile attempts at singing and feeding, which got little.
Howard and Fields
Howard and Fields, blackfacers assisted by Oscar Lee, passed along quietly with disconnected comedy talk songs offered in minstrel fashion in a dining car as a setting.
Jack Clifford and Miriam Wills
Jack Clifford and Miriam Wills offered “Jasper Junction,” brightened with new lines minus the dope number, with the usual good singing and delightful appearance. Miss Wills scoring heavily in second spot.
Harry Adler and Rose Dunbar
Harry Adler and Rose Dunbar made good. Adler got big laughs upon his entrance from the front as a plant on his comedy ability and his remarkably clever imitations of a saw mill, a jew’s-harp, etc. offered through excellent arrangement of hypnotic burlesque. He was capably assisted by the very attractive Miss Dunbar. The act registered a hit.
J. Rosamond Johnson and His Inimitable Five
Rosamond Johnson and His Inimitable Five, a colored act riot, was the applause hit of the bill. The syncopated artists displayed excellent voices, especially the tenor, the act concluding with the jazz orchestra playing, compelling a speech from Johnson, offered with the same good showmanship as was evidenced throughout this highly successful offering.
Zelaya
Zelaya headlining, lifted this entertaining show above the average and stopped it completely with classical and jazz piano playing and had the house laughing with some dandy talk effectively put over.
Vera Burt
Vera Burt and her Six Syncopated Steppers offered a varied dance routine, the male quintette [sic] containing some excellent dancers supporting Miss Burt, who makes attractive costume changes, which registered as an individual effort. The act was neatly presented and went well.
Coley & Jaxon
Coley & Jaxon, as the minstrel and the maid, were a huge comedy success with a good talk cleverly handled, especially by the girl in a Buster Brown character, trailing a dog around, which evolved talk. They finished to good applause, with singing and dancing.
Marie & Mary McFarland
Marie & Mary McFarland, sharing the top billing with Frank Wilcox & Co. in “Ssh’h,” appeared fifth being the first of the program with songs of regular concert routine, with powerful soprano voices blending beautifully. They got big appreciation. Frank Wilcox & Co. in “Shh-h,” containing good farcical situation adroitly handled by Wilcox with good support, scored a laughing success.
