GRR 3 – This is an act by two men and a woman, the men both being German comedians. The sketch was put on here at a rehearsal two or three weeks ago, and was recommended to me as being an exceptionally funny act. There is no question but what they did get a lot of laughs this afternoon, but it is certainly about as crude an affair as I ever saw in my life. The dialect of the men is pretty good, and there are two or three funny lines, but the thing has been loosely put together and is not at all suited for us yet. Owing to the tremendous scarcity of acts I have moved it further up the bill, cutting off five minutes, but it wont do for the rest of the circuit. 20 minutes, full stage.
