Devlin & Ellwood
Man and woman in a comedy playlet, “The Girl from Yonkers.” This act seemed to please but can hardly be said to have made an emphatic hit. Proved satisfactory, however, finishing fairly strong. C.D.F. 17 minutes.
John Neff & Carrie Starr
Man and woman in a novelty singing act. The work of each was fairly well received and the act finished passably strong. Didn’t go badly nor particularly good, sort of a stand-off. 16 minutes, special in 2.
Redford & Winchester
Well known comedy jugglers, who made a very favorable impression, got a lot of laughs and finished strong. 18 minutes, special in 4.
The Four Holloways
This act as an acrobatic trick cycle and tight wire offering is in a class by itself. Went big all the way through and made as good a closer as one could desire. Finished strong. 18 minutes, palace in 4.
Stuart Barnes
All that can be said of Mr. Barnes is that he is an artist of the first water, and notwithstanding the success of the acts preceding him, he came out, shook hands with the audience, and had everything his own way. It would be hard to conceive of any act doing better than he did and he provided 26 minutes of very classy and exceedingly interesting amusement. Olio in one, 28 minutes.
Mlle Dasie
In “L’Amour de L’Artist”. Notwithstanding the fact that pantomime is a new thing in this house Dasie and her supporting company made a distinctly favorable impression. The audience gave her the closest attention and seemed to be thoroughly interested in the presentation of this very worthy and meritorious act. The small bit of dancing which she introduced met with unmistakable favor, and the tragic finish of the act brought forth several rounds of applause and indicated that the act was more than liked. The work of the star and her supporting company is flawless, and the act should cause a lot of talk before the week is over. 16 minutes, special set in 4.
Wilbur Mack and Nella Walker
In a musical flirtation, “The Girl and the Pearl”. A very classy little offering and one that got along very nicely. The songs and talk of this pair went very well, and while the act wasn’t a riot it was very favorably received and gave excellent satisfaction. Special set 1 1/2, 14 minutes.
Potts Bros & Co.
Three men, one woman, in a comedy sketch, “Double Troubles.” The theme of the act is the mistaken identity idea, but the offering proved a thoroughly acceptable and very meritorious one. There were a lot of laughs and at no time did the interest seem to lag. A very satisfactory sketch and one that seemed to please the entire house. 16 minutes, C.D.F. in 3.
Cotter & Boulden
Young man and woman in a singing and dancing act which proved to be a distinct hit. The opening scene in riding costume was only fairly well received. The hard-shoe dancing which followed, by the man, went big. The singing of the woman with banjo accompaniment was a bona fide hit and went very strong. Her negro impersonation went especially big. The finishing song by both members of the team rounded the act out great and they were compelled to respond to six or eight bows. 14 minutes, street in one.
Wentworth, Vesta & Teddy
Comedy acrobatic act, two men and a dog. This act held the attention of the audience, and the various tricks presented were well received. The work of the dog asa apart of the various feats proved to be especially strong, and the act all in all was entirely satisfactory. Finished well. 8 minutes, garden in 2.
