Musical equilibrists, 12 minutes, C.D.F., two men. Excellent act, their work is a little short of wonderful, accomplishing the finest work in the line ever seen here. And they were well-received, the audience quickly realizing the difficulties attendant upon such an act, so skillfully performed.
Singing skit, 15 minutes (1) Special drop, two men. Passably fair, considerable of their stuff is somewhat suggestive and when they eliminate same as I insist upon their doing the few scattered laughs they received will be absent. Not phenomenal as singers, and the entire affair is not the feature caliber we have been used to.
Comedienne, 12 minutes (1). Weak act, the bulk of her comedy? [sic] being so ancient and time-worn as to be underserving of hardly any mention. The few scattered laughs she obtained evidently came from a few charitably inclined who wished to encourage her, but an act like this should not receive any encouragement from anyone.
Song, dance and comedy, 2 ladies, 3 men, 20 min, spec. set. Comedy received a few laughs, but there is much old business, as to mistaken identity, etc. things done many times before: Dancing by the young man is very clever, and is one of the best bits of the entire turn. A lively and whirl-wind finish gives the act a fair ending.
Accordeonist [sic], 11 min. (1). The act sent Boston in substitution for Max Zimmer. Not quite as gifted as many in this line who have appeared here, but regardless of how clever an accordionist might be, he or she would find it difficult to ‘go’ here; there have been so many of them that put audience is absolutely indifferent to their finest efforts.
Wire act, 9 minutes, full stage. Very good act, their feats on the wire being the greatest exhibition of this kind ever presented here. Audience was attentive and pleased throughout as evidenced by the applause.
21 minutes (2), special drop. Excellent comedy offering, their material, refreshingly new and original, being productive of plenty of laughter, and the act was hailed with vociferous applause.
Pastimes of the West, 13 minutes, full stage. Good novelty act, the lariat skill displayed created much favorable comment and the act in its entirety was very well received at all performances. Unquestionably the best of its kind yet offered here.
Comedy juggling, 15 minutes, full stage, special set. Recalling the Drawee of fifteen years ago, his exhibition today is a pitiable example of the ravages of time. A decade ago he was a juggler, but today he is only a memory. The remainder of the turn comprises comedy occasioned by a dog chasing the negro assistant all about the stage, which business obtained a few laughs.
Accordeonist [sic]. 11 minutes (1). The idea of the electric bells in conjunction with the accordeon [sic] is a bit of a novelty, but we have had it here before. His selections seemed to please a small portion of the audience, but judging from the reception as a whole it is quite evident that they have sufficient of these gentry for some time to come.
