Miss Brandt presented an elegant picture of good personality, nicely costumed and possesses a sweet soprano voice. She is accompanied by Baron Napolino. Her selections are good and manages to get them over in a quiet way. The audience did not go into ecstasies over her offering, but did respond to a little applause, for which she encored, seventeen minutes, using plush drop in two.
Assisted by Mabel Russell. Advance applause. It is really surprising how this man goes at every performance; he draws the first strong applause, necessitating an encore and leaves them wanting more. 21 minutes in one.
Presenting “Billy’s Tombstones” supported by Miss Ruth Allen, Miss Ivia Benton, Mr. Pierre Lemay and Mr. Charles Clugston. A great sketch, fairly well presented and scored the usual quota of laughs. 27 minutes, use special set.
Well known. A very neat talking, singing and comedy piano act in one that made good. 15 minutes.
Troupe of fairly well trained terriers, including some small toy dogs with one “Talker”. Some of the tricks are very well executed. The man a fair acrobat. The act lacks finish.
Two young men, who present an interesting and instructive wrestling exhibition, with the third member of the company explaining the carious stunts. Very good. 8 minutes, full stage.
Presenting the “Base Ball Game” in pantomime—quite a novel offering—greatly appreciated with many laughs. 16 minutes.
In a talking, singing and piano specialty with Mr. Spink at the piano. Miss Welch has a charming personality and an excellent voice. The songs are not new but are sung in a manner acceptable to the jury and with a little bright dialogue, intermingled with a few dancing steps, finish to a rousing hand. 17 minutes, in one.
“Hogan the Painter” well known. Leslie’s “slang phrases” caught the crowd, a big hit. The company is rather weak, which places Leslie in the “spot light”, showing the weakness of the man and woman. However, they get the laughs. 16 minutes, full stage.
The Mad Hatter. The company consists of a woman who in page costume, and with the aid of bass and kettle drums and various kinds of musical effects, manages to keep time with LaCroix while juggling, thereby presenting a novelty act with good comedy.
