Emmet Devoy and Co.
Hanlon Bros. and Co.
This clown and pantomime act called “Just Phor-Phun” was eighteen minutes long on the full stage and closed the show.
The brothers do “double work” in front of a mirror, not to be confused with the Schwartz Brother’s “broken mirror” trick. One of the four Hanlons plays a hotel keeper and is the straight man for the group. This is their first showing in vaudeville.
Pearl and Yosco
Birdland
It is an operetta,
with eleven people, all principals, the
women representing birds, and wearing
tights during the entire time. This helps
to make it a “sight” act. The setting,
an interior of a tree, has been well
attended to.
Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Barry
The couple performed a sketch called “The Rube” which ran for twenty-eight minutes.
Jimmie Barry plays a country yokel who arrives at the stage door of Daizie Dazzleman (Mrs. Barry). He bets his friend Si Terwilliger that he can get a kiss from the starlet, which he does. The audience begins to feel sorry for Jimmie Barry’s character, who seems to fall in love with the married Daizie. He asks for one last kiss, which he again receives. Si bursts through the stage door and hands Barry’s character money exclaiming “You win, Zeke!”
Edouard Jose and Co.
The act entitled “The Father” was fifteen minutes long.
Mr. Jose plays a father who finds his long lost daughter after receiving a letter from his estranged wife on her death bed. He procures a job as a copyist for a production that the daughter is acting in. He then has a chance to run lines with her and reveals that he is her father.
Andrew Robson and Co.
The playlet entitled “The Denunciation” was twenty minutes long on the full stage.
Andrew Robson plays Mr. Kean, who clashes with the Prince of Wales (Walter Hitchcock) over the Countess Felsen (played by Mabel Carruthers).
Harry Hirsch
The act was fifteen minutes long.
