This pair, O’Rourke & Burnette are known all over the circuit by the clever dancing they have done for many years. While they are not singers they earned good applause in this line by the introduction of their male off-spring, a boy of ten or twelve years of age, the possessor of a good, strong singing voice, which immediately stamped their act as very good in the opinion of to-days audience. Their dancing thereafter was better received and closing with some clever dancing by the boy, the trio made their exit to almost tremendous applause, earning at least two recalls, and it is safe to say that no act on the bill to-day was more heartily applauded. This addition of the boy, improves the value of the act 50%, if not more. 3 shows.
