Winkler-Kress Trio
The act was ten minutes long on the full stage.

After the Matinee
Desmond and Bailey
Wallace’s Cockatoos
The act was eighteen minutes long.
Wallace performs with his trained cockatoos. The featured “White Eagle” cockatoo is well-trained and performs without incident.
Tom Barry and Co.
The act was twenty minutes long.
Tom Barry plays a messenger boy who has a dream about his idolized boy-detective hero, Nick Carter. In the dream, Nick Carter is defeated and Barry’s character “denounces dime novels forever.”
James Edwards and Co.
Van Brunt and Moore
The act was nineteen minutes long.
Moore is a “stout jovial young man” who plays the piano with a unique method of delivery and has considerable stage presence.
Van Brunt is “a youthful Joe Howard and Andrew Mack rolled into one.” His stage presence will also help him significantly in the future.
Berzac’s “Riding Academy”
The act was twenty-one minutes long on the full stage.
In his new comedy act, Cliff Berzac used a “mechanic”, which is a pole that holds a horse-rider into place as they ride around the ring in a circus. Berzac acts as the “riding instructor” and uses this mechanic for comedy. He attaches supposedly inexperienced riders to the mechanic where an “unridable mule” proceeds to bounce them around. Cliff also rides a horse around barebacked.
Lavell and Grant
The act was eleven minutes long.
Lavell and Grant do a posing and acrobatic act which is similar to that of the Rigoletto Brothers. “The understander is a heavily built chap, with tremendous strength in his arms.”
Three Cooke Sisters
The act was ten minutes long.
The act was formerly a quartet and sings rag numbers. The trio looks and sings well.
