Minnie Allen
Presenting “A Novelty of Song”. A young lady with pleasing personality, nicely costumed, who presents a singing number different from all others and closing with a pianologue, an excellent act. 15 minutes in one.
Mrs. Louis James
With Elwood Bostwick and Laurett Browne in “Holding A Husband”. A comedy well written, bright lines and carefully drawn situations, with several strong laughs. Full stage, 14 minutes.
Newbold and Gribbin
Songs and impersonations. Miss Gribbin has a sweet voice and gets her songs over. Newbold does some very good character work and they manage to get the laughs. A pleasing act in about fourth place. 20 minutes in one.
Chas. B. Lawlor & Daughters
Mabel and Alice in a series of character studies in Italian and Irish, entitled “Night and Day on the Sidewalks of New York”. The girls make several changes. Open rather quiet but seem to be appreciated and manage to secure a good hand at the finish. Full stage, 20 minutes.
Warren & Keefe
Fred Warren doing black face with Keefe as a straight man. Have a difficult place. Their talk is light. Keefe is a good yodler while Warren as a wench singing “Alexander” in German, gets the laughs and they close very good. 22 minutes in one.
La Vier
Mid-air gymnast on the flying trapeze. Exceptionally clever, splendid opener. Full stage, 5 minutes.
William Delmore Mlle. Oneida
Well known balancing perch. A pleasing act but not appreciated at this place. 10 minutes in one.
Nora Bayes & Jack Norworth
And their “Musical Surprise Party”. The company consists of Nora Bayes, Jack Norworth, Cyril Chadwick, David Stamper Mary Johnson, Ubert Carlton and Albert Anderson. The act really consists of a potpourri of legerdemain, opera, comedy and dancing. It is one of the best acts they ever presented; not a dull moment. Both Bayes and Norworth are generally accorded a great deal of applause on their entrance. They secure the laughs and hold the stage at every performance from fifty-five to sixty-five minutes. Their work is so interesting, the time passes very quickly. As to drawing power, the business jumped skyward, with prospects of a S.R.O. at every performance. Full stage.
Yvette
This young lady presents a sort of novelty in violin work. Rather eccentric in mannerism and on the order of the “Big Star’s” work parading and dancing across the stage, etc. Nicely costumed, good voice an d plays ragtime selections. It is a genuine vaudevill [sic] act and one that lends color to the show. 12 minutes in one.
Florence Nash & Joseph Jefferson
With Minette Barrett in a problem play of the future, entitled “In 1999” by William C. de Mille, second week. This satire seems to fully as strong as last week, getting the usual quota of laughs if not more, with tremendous applause on the finish and five genuine curtain calls. Full stage, 18 minutes.
