(Evening Performance) Toreador operatic artists. Substituted for the above for evening performance only. These people were quite a surprise. Man and woman both of whom have good voices, the former an exceptional deep baritone, of commanding figure and good presence. The woman is also an exceptional pianist. They are now to the East, but their Western recommendations are very satisfactory and they lived up to them in their work here. Make three changes of costume, all of them very striking—Spanish, North American Indian and full evening dress. Their line of talk is fairly good, but they infuse so much life and ginger into their vocal work that they get good applause for everything they do. This act could hold a good spot on any bill. Ran twenty-one minutes, and could be improved by being cut down to about eighteen. These people should be given an opportunity as they are well worthy of big time consideration.
