A rattling good closing act. Schepp is a nice looking young chap and his dogs, ponies and monks look well and work fast. Act will compare favorably with any animal act we have played here and is good value for any manager. Garden in 4. Time 24 min.
“Mr. Nobody.” Two men, one working blackface. The applause hit of the bill today. They are both good singers and their comedy is refreshing and I consider the act fully as good as when McGahan was a member. Street in 1. Time 14 min.
A very pretty woman in a series of classical dances that are beautifully done. In the larger cities the act should prove a surefire success. She uses three assistants with her on the stage and employs several lamp operators. Four dances, with changes of scenery and costume presented. While the applause was not terrific the act went over well and is creating considerable comment. Believe the act will draw us money during the week. Own scenery in 3. Time 13.
“Pixley’s Prodigal Parents.” As good a farce comedy as there is in vaudeville and a big laughing hit with today’s audience. Special set in 3. Time 27 min.
Singing comedienne. Single women have a rather hard time of it here but this one got her audience right at the start this afternoon and held them with her four songs. She makes an attractive appearance and sings well and will do nicely in an early spot on any bill. Olio drop in 1. Time 12 min.
“The Old Baron.” A comedy sketch by Chas. T. Dazey, employing three people. Story is rather entertaining but needs quickening up before it will do for the big houses. The comedy is quiet but gets over in good shape and the work of Marburgh as the old German is artistic. Act took three calls at finish today. Plain chamber in 3. Time 22 min.
Comedians and vocalists. Two men in a singing, talking and dancing act. Ford’s voce was in bad shape this afternoon which somewhat marred the start of the act. They have considerable old material which they get over in pretty good shape and the act closes strong. Street in 1. Time 17.
3 people. Their billing reads “presenting an unusual and somewhat tricky act.” They do a little juggling, some boomerang throwing, a little Scotch dancing and some clever bow and arrow shooting. It is one of the most novel and interesting opening act I have played this season and will make good in this spot on any program. Garden in 3. Time 11 min.
A rousing closing feature that had the audience fairly shrieking with laughter. Act much improved since I saw it in New York early in the season. Girls looked well and Burke has invested in some new costumes for them. Eddie O’Connor as the artist and Percy Plunkett as the man about town are vast improvement over the two men who originally played these characters. Carly Henry, who is featured, is a funny comedian and he keeps the laughs travelling at a merry clip. Own set in 3. Time 30 min. Can do 5 min close in 1.
European Dynamitic Wonders. 3 people. An electrical act somewhat on the order of the first half of Dr. Hermann’s and much superior to the act offered here this season by Volts. Salambo is a showman and has framed up his act in splendid shape and it held the close attention of the audience. Their concluding feat where they blow up gas from their mouths through a chandelier won a big hand. While not much of an applause getter think this act will create a lot of talk on the outside. Own set in 3. Time 13 min.
