Same act as in previous seasons except some changes in the juggling and he does not use the cannon but his work is O.K. and was watched with interest. F.S.
This is a number of old time “gags”, songs, piano playing and met with approval. We do not like Chas. Clear in the act as well as Little Lex Neal who left them. In one.
With their cross fire talk, songs etc. they created quite a little fun and took care of this position nicely. F.S. can close in one.
“The Dippy Magicians.” He does nothing in the way of magic except to burlesque but with a couple of boys called from the audience he managed to create about as much amusement as any on the bill. In one.
In “A College Town.” Cast includes Miss Tempest, two principals an eight chorus men. The plot is a negligible quantity, but the songs are very good, the dancing is artistic and well done, the special scenery, showing a view of the Yale campus, is handsome, and all in all, we would call it a good act. F.S.
By Graham Moffatt’s Scottish Players. This sketch has merit and novelty, the Scotch accent of the players is exceptionally good and the act filled this position on the bill quite acceptably. F.S.
“It Happened in Topeka.” Supporting company consists of two men and two women and they are all very capable. The play is a big laugh all the way through and Mr. Bell successfully upholds the reputation he has gained in his former plays. Full stage.
The voices of this couple see to have improved since we last played them, and moreover, their fact is better. They are favourites here in Washington, Miss Dietrich being native of the city. In one.
“The Troublesome Trunk.” This little singing and talking skit is about on a par with their former efforts and seemed to please audience. In one. Spec. drop.
“The Mobilization of the Green Troops for the Front.” There is so much difference between the ordinary motion pictures and the Kinemacolor that it is hard to make a comparison. However, we are convinced that they are amply worth the difference in the cost.
