Assisted by Richard Anderson, in their laughable travesty, “When Caesar C’s Her”. The act went big all the way through and the work individual and collectively was decidedly above par. Genuine laughter and plenty of fun throughout. 19 minutes, special set in 4.
Novelty dancers. Mack is decidedly clever exponent of dancing and made the biggest kind of an individual hit. Miss Williams did comparatively little work but added quite a bit to the act on account of being petite and cute. They were compelled to open and close in one, an unusual condition I am told, notwithstanding which they get along very nicely, gained applause liberally and finished fairly strong. A perfectly satisfactory act. Open olio in 1, goes to C.D.F. in 3, closes olio in 1, 16 minutes.
Italian ice sculptor. He carries a very pretty act representing Arctic scenes and his work consists of sculpturing first a camel, then two birds, and for a finish an American eagle. He works very rapidly and his offering is showman-like in every respect. As he finishes each of the before-named pieces of work he places them in a scenic receptacle lighted from the interior, thus keeping his work in full view of the audience all the time, which is a very good idea. At the finish of each of his feats he was given a substantial round of applause, and the finish of his work was indicative of a genuine success. Special set in 3, 14 minutes.
A remarkable chimpanzee who presents a series of tricks that are so human as to be almost startling. While there was no great applause through the act it was apparent that the audience was thoroughly interested, and at the finish she was given a good solid round of applause. I believe she will create a great deal of talk and have a tendency to draw them in. 16 minutes, C.D.F. in 3.
In a one-act comedy, “A Fool’s Errand”. A good low comedy offering which seemed to please them all the way through, but for some reason or another didn’t draw as strong as last year. They were entirely satisfactory, however, and got away with it very nicely. 25 minutes, C.D.F, in 3.
A genuine artist who had not the slightest trouble in giving the house the best line of entertainment of its kind ever seen here. Held the undivided attention throughout and finished very strong. 30 minutes, olio in 1.
This bounding rope artist held the attention of the audience all the way through. There were numerous punctuations of applause and the finish was all that could be desired. Terrace in 3, 15 minutes.
This young woman introduced a number of songs and impersonations, all of which were fairly well received except the last number, “Smarty”, which pulled her up nicely and gave her a good strong finish. 12 minutes, olio in 1.
Musical laugh-makers. This act went fairly well all the way through and the finish was moderately strong. Not a distinct hit but got by nicely. 15 minutes, palace in 5.
A wonderful pair of dancers, who gained attention the minute they entered and like a whirlwind all the way through. A really great dancing act. 8 minutes, street in one.
