Those Four Entertainers
Four fine-looking young men, one in blackface, who harmonise very well in a number of popular and semi-popular songs. One of the best of the quartettes in the business. A little comedy from the blackface. In one.
Young and McLaughlin
Young man and woman who sing couple of songs and give an exposition of some of the modern dancing, such as the turkey-trot, the bunny-hug and Texas tommy. Seemed to please in this position. F.S.
“Hughie” Jennings and Ben Smith
In the baseball comedy, “The New Mascot.” A better act than we anticipated, having no little merit in it. Bound to prove a drawing card on account of the baseball reputation of Jennings. In one. Spec. drop.
Percy Haswell and Co.
In the Elizabethan comedy, “Master Will’s Players.” This is unusual well done. The working in of two scenes from Shakespeare’s comedies, “As You Like It” and “The Taming of the Shrew” gives Miss Haswell a fine opportunity to show her ability in Shakespearean roles and she does herself justice. She has adequate support, too, and we can recommend the act highly. F.S. Spec. set.
Chas. Mack and Co
“Come Back to Erin.” Two men and two women. They talk, sing Irish songs, play with the Irish pipes and do some of the old-time Irish dancing. They filled this position is a satisfactory manner and seemed to be well-appreciated. F.S. Spec. set.
Taylor Granville, Laura Pierport and Co.
In the startling play in three scenes, “The System.” This act is well-staged, well-produced and well-acted. It is full of thrills and rife with action and held the attention of the people to the end. 15 in cast and a lot of “supers.” The tension of the whole thing cleverly relieved by the surprise finish, which furnishes quite a bit comedy. F.S. (1) F.S.
Elsa Ruegger
Miss Ruegger is a thorough artiste on the cello and her classical program is made up of selections above the ordinary. Assisted by Edmund Lichtenstein, who conducts the orchestra. A splendid number immensely appreciated by our people. In one.
Earl and Curtis
“The Girl and the Drummer.” Assisted by a young man as a bellboy. A little talking, some singing and dancing. Rather a meaningless little act and one which we do not care very much about. Spec. drop in 1 1/2 . Open and close in one.
Conroy and LeMaire
“The New Physician.” A very funny act, ludicrous situations and extremely well done. The only criticism we have to make is that there are so many laughs that it would be well to shorten the act by about five minutes. The audience really becomes exhausted. (1) (2)
Chas. Reisner and Henrietta Gores
We were more than delighted with the work of these two people. Their act is decidedly out of the beaten track. They sing, dance and talk and do them all in a novel manner. This man and woman could hold any spot on any bill and do themselves justice. Special drop in one.
