9 minutes, full stage. Music and acrobatics. A remarkable act.
7 minutes, full stage. Performing some remarkable acrobatic feats. Their method, however, is old timey and the appearance of the men detracts from the real value of the act.
22 minutes, full stage. George Ade’s comedy “The Mayor and the Manicure”. This act is getting many laughs—going very well indeed. Mr. Barbour’s methods have lifted all dignity and tone bodily from the act. It now resembles a negro act. The supporting company is wretched. “Family affairs” whould [sic] be eliminated from vaudeville. The gentleman’s daughter is the ingénue and is awful.
“Protean Violinist”. Special drop in two. An ordinary violinist. The act is going fairly well—the impersonations of the different masters eliciting much applause.
22 minutes, special drop in 2, closing in one. Well known Scotch comedy singing act. Does not repeat so successfully as we hoped.
15 minutes in one. First time here. An immense success. One of the best singing acts we have played.
“The Last Word in Lightning Juggling.” 7 minutes, full stage. They started with three, commencing Tuesday four of them worked. Their act was a bit ragged the fore part of the week. At the end of the wee, however, they were doing all of the stuff used in the five act. In my opinion the act does not suffer much by the loss of the fifth member.
“The German Comedians”. 12 minutes in one. The best of the 2 men Dutch acts. They keep them laughing all the time and in a hard spot could be called a hit.
“The Picture of Dorian Gray”. Full stage, special set. 25 minutes. The brightness of the lines, in a great measure, atone for the mediocrity of the acting. The act is going very well.
“The Famous Character Actor”. 30 minutes. Street in one, his accompanist being back of the drop. Undoubtedly a great artist. I fear they do not understand his characterization—not making the hit his performances deserve.
