MacLean and Bryant
The Dorlands
The performers are a man and a woman.
Of the eleven minutes, seven are consumed by comedy pantomime. Entirely too much, considering the acrobatic portions.
Albert Pench
Character song.
he wears a full evening dress.
A derby over his ears for the Hebrew parodies is used.
Laurence Johnson
The comic boy dummy is principally used, a “coon” being introduced for some short cross fire talk.
Frank Milton and De Long Sisters
Familia Bell
“This act will easily hold down any spot on the big time. Seven men and two women are in the act, all thorough musicians.” “There is enough to the repertoire to satisfy both lovers of the ‘rag’ and the ‘heavy stuff.’ The act while at present is an excellent number for any big time card, shows possibilities for a better routine.” Thirty minutes proves to be not too much. The details are appreciated including the attention paid to the Spanish Bandalero costumes.
Billy Chase
“With a good personality, a fair singing voice, an immaculate appearance in evening dress and ‘Lovely Joe’ with original verses for the opening, Chase started off flying.” “Chase puts his material over well, but with just a slight overabundance of confidence, tending to handicap his earlier efforts.” “A little less facial contortion and easier style approaching the encore will improve.” In the next to closing position, Billy Chase caught on at once with the audience.
