On at 4.26, 26 min, full stage. This act did not run as smoothly as it should this afternoon, largely the fault of the working crew of the act, who did not seem to know how to set their own stuff. Their electrician was also apparently all at sea on his cues. The athletic girl and the Englishman are not suffering with the bad colds, which was a serious handicap to the vocal part of the act. I think this is the best thing that Lusky has ever given us. Like all of his attractions, however, he has failed to develop the idea to its fullest extent. This could be made one of the most talked of acts in vaudeville, and would be good for two or three seasons; but it still seems to have the same unfinished air it had the first time I saw it, about a month ago. I think it would pay Lusky to give his acts a little more of his personal attention after he has started them out on the road. I have seen the same thing happen with several of his productions.
