Six exceedingly clever acrobats, four men, two women. There is a lot of style and finish to their feats, each and all of which are performed with the greatest dexterity. One woman in particular borders on the marvelous. The act went well all the way through and finished strong. 8 minutes, palace set in 5.
In “Clancy’s Ghost”. This popular Hibernian duo hadn’t any trouble at all in making themselves the laughing hit of the show, their act being almost a continuous scream form beginning to end. 22 minutes, C.D.F., close in 1.
This well known prima donna got along very nicely but did not prove a big hit at either the afternoon or night performance. She is the possessor of an unusually good voice and her gowns are exceedingly tasteful and pretty. She got along very nicely, however, and proved thoroughly acceptable. 15 minutes, olio in 1.
In “A Picture of Dorian Gray””, a high class dramatic sketch by Oscar Wilde. This act is provided with a very elaborate and beautiful setting which in itself at the rise of the curtain received a round of applause. The story of the piece is involved, and I believe that while it gained the attention of the audience it went over the heads the major portion thereof. The work of the three players interpreting the piece was excellent and the act finished moderately strong. Typical act in 4, 25 minutes.
Same efficient ventriloquist of yore. Held the attention of the audiences all the way through and finished strong. 28 minutes, C.D.F.
Man and woman in a comedy singing, talking and dancing act. None of their stuff went very well at either the afternoon or evening performances, and they just about got by. There was no demonstration of approval at the finish, although they won some laughs during the presentation of the act. 16 minutes, street in 1.
Two young men, one young woman in a novelty acrobatic act, “Hotel Turnover”. A very excellent act in which the work of the three performers is very interesting and very capably performed. The act made a distinct hit, receiving applause all the way through and finishing strong. 8 minutes, D.C.D.
Man and boy in a decidedly clever equilibrist offering. All of their tricks are exceptionally well executed and they were well received. A little mandolin and violin paying is dragged in the act and this, together with their comedy, which is rather painful, could be well eliminated. The act scored, however, and proved entirely satisfactory. Palace in 5, 9 minutes.
“The Male Patti”. A slight demonstration of applause upon his entrance. All of his songs gained the closest attention and he was liberally rewarded at the finish of each with abundance of applause. His gowns are very pretty and all in all he makes a striking appearance. As a soprano he is equal to many female vocalists of note and his success was thoroughly satisfactory. Open C.D.F., closes olio in 1, 16 minutes.
“The Girl from Dixie”. She opened moderately well, because stronger as she preceded, and gradually rounded out a good sized and unmistakable success for herself. Some of her stuff is a little “fly” but I don’t believe any of it would offend. A very satisfactory act. 21 minutes, olio in 1.
