In a melodramatic sketch called “Jockey Jones”. It looked very much, up to noon, as if we would not get this act at all. The special car that he had for his baggage having got lost somewhere between Cleveland and Providence. The baggage arrived in the house about ten minutes of one and only for the fact that I was able to work the fist one and a half hours of my show in one and two, I don’t believe we could have put it on. As it was I delayed the show twelve minutes in stating. It is rather a dangerous thing to send a big act like that from Cleveland into New England. The act lived up to its reputation entirely. Corrigan is probably as good an actor as there is in Vaudeville. The sketch is very interesting and the paraphernalia decidedly novel and show held the audience and in fact worked them up to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Corrigan got a strong call before the curtain, at the finish, although the time was very late. 21 min. full stage, 2 shows.
