John E. Henshaw & Grace Avery
Presenting “A Table D’Hote” – catchy songs, some breezy patter their restaurant scene and take-off on a taxi ride went very good; open in one and closed in full stage; 20 min. whole act went big.
Milady’s Gown
Two men and two women; special set representing a modiste shop; the feature of the act is the draping of several gowns by one of the men; they sing several songs; very poor singers. 15 min. full stage; went only fair.

Marie Donahue
Sings four of the latest songs; very neat appearance; three changes of costume; has a very poor voice; got a good hand, but more of a guy thing than anything else. One of the Police Commissioner’s was in tonight and said if we did not get better acts than that he would have to send the entire police here to keep order. 13 min in one.
“The Kissing School:
A humorous musical. ARGUMENT ON Osculation. 8 girls, boy and a man; special setting, rose garden.

The Frescott’s
“The Master Minds of Mental Mysticism” – man and woman; man works in the audience; special drop of green plush; answers questions, tells names, etc. 16 min. full stage; went fair. P.S. – The people don’t seem to like the show – I’ve heard quite a number of unfavorable comments, which is unusual, and mostly from our two-a-week patrons.
Lady Alice’s Pets
