Songs, stories and a little dancing. Mr. Gould’s stories are pretty old and the act is overpaid. Would have gone better in about a #3 position. In one.
Very clever Lilliputian, but not to be compared with Little Billy. Would have gone better in about #2 position. Full stage. Can close in one two minutes.
A really great acrobatic act. Ten people, three horses and a donkey. Open in two with a special drop, which they carry and close in a house set full stage.
“A Club Woman?” A rather clever sketch. Full stage. Would not care to repeat.
“The Upside Down Boys.” A novel, comedy acrobatic act which did very well in this position. Full stage.
The dramatic sketch, “An Object Lesson.” An intensely interesting situation involving the old question of the “triangle,” presented in a new light. One of the best bits of character acting on the part of Mr. Thompson that we have ever seen and his supporting cast is competent. An act that will be a distinct credit to any bill. F.S.
“The English Johnnie and the Cop.” A good act. The Englishman is one of the best we have seen and there are lots of laughs scattered through the act. Also one clever song. Made good and received a number of encores. In one
Man and woman, singing and dancing on a miniature stage. A nice little act for opening position, such an act as is necessary to play once in a while for the children. F.S.
A very pretty act and we can commend it highly. Mr. Albertson and the six young ladies all have pleasing personalities and all are good dancers. The costuming is perfect, and altogether, we can call it a very good, novel act. Full stage. Velvet backing and sides.
“Back to Wellington.” The name idea as formerly, but a lot of new lines and situations. Mr. North knows how to play this kind of a part and he gets quite a great deal of quiet humor from the role. In two.
