A novelty music offering, 13 minutes in 3. This is the worst musical act seen here in many seasons. Three men and one woman, carrying their own sand to dance in, and offering more accordion music. They also carry a card which announces that they play “The Lost Chord.” No one recognized it however by their rendition. Someone became nervous in the audience last night and applauded and one of the men made a curtain speech. Their instruments were presumably tuned in Scotland and they succeeded in producing some of the most masterful noises we have ever offered our patrons. This is a regular campaign and would go a lot better in a motion picture. (Cincinnati)
