10 min. – Spec. set – Owing to the fact that Horace Goldin is here this week and has to use traps in all of his illusions we were compelled to shove the loop back the full depth of the stage—40 feet, which is altogether too far. The loop was so late in getting here and there was so much to do on Goldin’s act this morning that a rehearsal was impossible. The act did not arouse any enthusiasm and received but scant applause. However, this will probably not be the rule during the week; for Culver had no music to go with the act and our orchestra played slow waltz music for the exciting part, where they should have rendered circus music. It is safe to say that the act will prove a great drawing card and will serve to pull us through Holy Week nicely. It should never have been booked on the same bill with Goldin’s act. Next week it will be down stage where it belongs and where the people in the gallery can see it.
