Went well. Ventriloquial act entitled “On the B. & O.” Special scene of a waiting room in a railroad station. Nine dummies are employed and a walking figure. This was the first performance of the act and while there was some confusion as was to be expected, it was well done in the main. Miss Acker is very clever as a ventriloquist and the dialogue is full of pith and point. The laughs come frequently. There is a foundation in act for something good to be developed and with attention should result in an act worth while. Full stage. Time 19 min.
