Including Mr. Dickson, a lady, and a young boy, in a sketch entitled “Heart-to-heart Talks.” The sketch is constructed in order that it may fit Mr. Dickson’s peculiar style of work, and while it is a pretty good act, I think he has done many better ones on the circuit. He had a new woman here this afternoon, who, while she played the part excellently, was unquestionably nervous, and that might have affected Mr. Dickson in a way. The act went all right, but somehow it did not seem to me to quite meet the criticisms that I have heard of it. However, it is liable to be much better tonight. At any rate, it is hardly fair to judge from a Monday afternoon audience. 33 minutes, full stage.
