This is a “coon” act introducing three women and two men, and certainly made a great hit here this afternoon. The act is dressed very well indeed and possesses considerable merit. It is, however, somewhat coarser than many of the colored acts we have played, but after some suggested changes have been adopted I have no question but that it will be a very good act. It is full of life and keeps the attention of the audience from the start to the finish. 25 minutes, full stage. Can close in one if necessary.
