Rather surprised in the manner this young lady was received, considering that she is following a big singing and dancing skit. Her selections are very good, each receiving a good hand, with big applause at the finish. Twelve minutes in one.
In the musical romance “Mon Amour”. Well known and went fully as strong as before. Twenty-three minutes full stage.
In the alleged comedy “Holding Out” rather a rough vehicle for a house of this kind. Some laughs, although scattered. Finished weak, full stage, 14 minutes.
Two young men of pleasing personality, working in full dress, some dancing and a wee bit of singing. A splendid dancing act and fully able to hold down a more important position on any bill. 12 minutes in one.
(Wartenburg Bros.) Well known and really a new act at this house. Novelty musicians. Very good. Full stage 7 minutes.
Talking, singing and dancing. This act did not live up to the endorsement of other houses and is only good for an early place. Closed, refused to work in second place.
Boy and girl in a talking, singing and dancing act. Very mild. Closed Monday.
In “Just Phor-Phun”. Hanlon Brothers are great pantomimists. An excellent closing act full of comedy, with plenty of good trick properties. Full stage, 17 minutes.
In “The Call of the Sixties”. Banjoists playing old time selections with the words flashed on the screen. An old idea but new at this season. “Nellie Gray” 1856. “Lillie Doll” 1852, “Oh Susanna” 1854, “Grandfather’s Clock”, 1870 with the audience singing the chorus. At every performance the audience go wild—On Thursday night they simply stopped the show. 15 minutes in one.
With Minette Barrett in a problem play of the future, entitled “In 1999”. Here is a play in which the author reverses the lines. The wife, the club-woman, the husband, the housekeeper. The girl in love with the husband; hence the comedy. Very novel. Creating more talk than any other play ever presented here, with plenty of newspaper advertising. Retained the second week. Full stage, 18 minutes.
