George Primrose

Assisted by the Foley Twins. Naturally, this was the strong feature of the bill. I agree with the other houses that done by anybody else the act would not be worth over $150.00, although there is no disputing the fact that both Primrose and his protégés are about as graceful dancers as we have ever had. The feature of the act, and which appealed especially to the older people, is the double clog dancing by the Foley boys, which is reminiscent of the palmy days of minstrelsy, and made a big hit here this afternoon. They took two or three curtain calls, and still the audience wanted them again, and I guess there is no question but that considered from the present condition of vaudeville the act is worth what we are paying for it. 20 min, full stage.
