Rayno’s Bull Dogs
A most notorious dog act in which a great number of novel and entertaining feats are introduced, all of which made a distinct hit, the act throughout being very successful and finishing very strong. 10 minutes, garden in 5.
Nat Wills
The same tramp comedian as of yore. A liberal allotment of his old stuff was given and a fairly good sprinkling of new. There was a slight demonstration upon his entrance but he didn’t wake them up for a little while. Finally he got them going his way in good shape and it was then a pretty easy matter for him to handle the house as he pleased. The finish was fairly strong, but I believe the act was well liked. 28 minutes, street in 1.
The Eight Berlin Madcaps
Their dancing was moderately well received throughout the act. They were hardly a distinct hit yet the act got by very nicely and apparently had no trouble holding the attention of the audience. Finished pretty strong. 9 minutes, garden in 4.
Barry & Wolford
In a comedy skit, “It Happened on Monday”. They introduced quite a bit of their old material and considerable new all of which went well. The act made good in every respect. 17 minutes, special in 1 ½.
Thorns & Carleton
Man and woman in a comedy sketch, “The Soubrette and the Yap”. This act held the audience all the way through and gained a number of laughs. Not a great big hit but thoroughly satisfactory. 18 minutes, C.D.F.
Bedini & Arthur
They were an emphatic hit all the way through and made a most excellent impression. The laughs were hearty and sincere, and the legitimate juggling provoked genuine applause. This act also gave us a little time in 1. 17 minutes, wood in 4, close in 1.
The Flying Banvards
Four men and two women in what proved to be a very entertaining casting act. The tableau provided for the opening of the act was given a good reception upon the rise of the curtain. The various tricks throughout the act were roundly applauded and the finish was moderately strong. While nothing great was introduced the work is very acceptable and the performers must be given credit with presenting a very artistic and decidedly clean appearance. The aspect of the performers and the act were enough in themselves to give the act quite a degree of “cleanliness”. Made a very good closing set and I believe it will prove entirely satisfactory in every way. 11 minutes, special set in 4.
Jace Wilson and Company
In “An Upheaval in Darktown”. The biggest laughing hit we have had on the bill this season. Wilson proved a never-ending source of delight to the audience, which laughed itself hoarse. Ada Lane and Frank Batie proved to be decidedly delightful entertainers and the trio, individually and collectively, gave us 31 minutes of “nothing but hit”. 31 minutes, street in 1.
Amy Ricard, Lester Lonergan
And a Young Man in a small part presented in a very pretty legitimate Irish comedy, “An Idyll of Erin”. The atmosphere and general tenor of this act is strictly legitimate. The piece secured the attention of the audience though, and notwithstanding the offering being quiet in style I believe it proved of thorough interest to the entire audience. The work of Miss Richard, Mr Lonergan and the young man refereed to heretofore, was very good and I could see nothing lacking in any way. The act finished very good and was apparently well liked. It is away from the conventional sketch, being provided with a very pretty special exterior set, and impressed me as a work upon which time and intelligence have been bestowed. I believe this act well worth while on any bill. Special set in 3, 20 minutes.
Camille Ober
Phenomenal Parisian vocalist. Miss Ober was accorded a small reception upon her entrance and her first song went but fairly well. Her second number, “Tyrolean Fantasia” caught on in good shape and she was given a rousing round of applause at its finish. Her third number “Intermezzo from Rusticana”, went big. Her fourth song, sentimental American number, repeating chorus one octave higher, was an unqualified success. She finished very strong and was compelled to take several bows. 15 minutes, fancy in 2 and olio in 1.
