YRR-2 – This is the gentleman who took the place of Dan Daly in “The Liberty Belles”. He is one of the original family of Davenports, so well known to the theatre-going public, and he has an act which was rather peculiar in its way, however, I feel absolutely certain it will go very strong with a night audience. It doesn’t appeal especially to the small quiet audience that we usually have at matinees, but it is very artistic, and I have an idea that in the evening he is going to be very strong. He does a song at first which gives a chance to introduce a topical verse in an effective manner, and closes with a song which is supposed to be sung by a clergyman, giving a description of the happenings at a church bizarr [sic], and which I think, is very clever indeed. 14 minutes in one.
