This act was very unfortunate this afternoon, one of the performers meeting with an accident at rehearsal and injuring himself so severely that it was impossible for him to appear and he will doubtless not be able to go to work for a couple of days. They do a xylophone act, which from all I can hear is an exceptionally good one as they were with Barnum’s Show last season and a great many people saw them at Madison Square Garden. In order to fill out the time, one of the brothers went on and worked alone, and while he gave every evidence of being a clever artist in his line he was naturally hampered by the absence of his partner. There is no question, however, but that they have a fine act. 10 min in one.
