Gertrude Hoffman

Big advance applause, but not as strong as Cissie’s reception.  Gave impersonations of Eddie Foy, Anna Held, George M. Cohan, “Merry Widow”, Eva Tanguay, Harry Lauder, and Adeline Genee, each of which is very well done and applauded by the jury.  While she is a rough karat alongside of Loftus, she certainly held her own and went as strong as before.  Twenty-three Minutes Full Stage.

The Kratons

The pantomime part of this act, “Hoopland”, died the awful death.  The juggling which is fairly well done, saved them.  Entirely too much money.  Nine Minutes Full Stage.

Cecilia Loftus

Big advance applause.  This young lady is certainly an artist.  She held the stage this afternoon for thirty-four minutes, the audience never tiring of her efforts.  Gave impersonation of Alice, Lloyd, singing “Splashing”; Olga Nethersole, in a recitation from “Sappho”; Singor Caruso; Hatty Williams, in “The Little Cherub”; Ethel Barrymore, in a scene from “Sunday”; Bert Williams, singing “Nobody”; George Walker, in “Bandanna Land”, singing “Bon Bon Buddie”; and Alla Nazimova, in a scene from “A Doll’s House”; each receiving big recognition and artistically done.  Big applause on her finish.  Compelled to take several bows.  Twenty-two Minutes in One.
