This act is only going fair, and the criticism in the newspapers were not of the best. The singing of the quintette as the finish in one was the best part of the act. Their music arrangement is not made to fit the working of the pictures, and it seems wherever they’ve played they’ve had trouble more or less. It’s utterly impossible for the orchestra and those working the props to keep time with the motion of the pictures. The act needs a thorough going ever before it gets in first-class shape. Time 24 minutes in two, closing 7 minutes in one.
