Mr. Norcross is the famous old minstrel interlocutor and bass singer. He was put on the bill principally because of the fact that he is the oldest living Elk, and I figured correctly that he would draw some business. A very large Elk party has been arranged for him for one night this week. The act gets by, and with a little reconstruction will be thoroughly all right in an early spot. Any house that can see the value of the advertising and the draft because of the Elks et cetera would do well to play him. He works with a lady presenting a little skit introducing some songs, the lady singing a song in three voices. 22 minutes full stage.
