De Haven and Parker
The stage has a
velour crescent shaped drapery, with a
chandelier hung from the center. It resembles
a Turkish smoking room.
Mr. Quick
Quick rapidly
draws, giving to his sketches a touch
of caricature which provides the comedy;
sometimes genuine, as for instance, a drawing,
which could have been labeled “Roosevelt
in Africa.” Mr. Quick seems to draw
upon the board as though sketching for
a newspaper cut. It does very well. The
larger part of his other sketches were
illustrating song titles (which he did not
announce), while the orchestra played the
airs.
Ideal
Ideal is a one-woman diving act who wears a red union suit.
The Three Leightons
The sketch entitled “A One Night Stand in Minstrelsy” was twenty-one minutes long.
The act revolves around a colored porter who joins a minstrel troupe. The Leighton trio assumes their usual characters [which are not explicitly mentioned].
The stage is transformed into a railroad tank station, with a section of the troupe’s private car showing.
Burkes and Richmond
The act was eight minutes long.
The two women perform a “Sister Act”, though they are not sisters and do not dance or do comedy. They sing well and present an attractive appearance in their many gowns.
One of the girls does an Irish number, but it does not seem to fit into the act.
Caprice and the Field Brothers
The brothers are first-rate
hard shoe dancers… Besides her dancing
(and she has an advantage in being able
to do several styles) Caprice has a voice
that comes very near being a regular one,
and she doesn’t have to talk her songs.
Edmund Breese and company
Edmund Breese and company performed a sketch called “Copy”, which closed the first half of the show.
Kubelik
Kubelik is a violinist and was the headliner for the show. He plays the violin in a “novel manner”. Two violins are placed on stands and Kubelik plays both while seated. He also plays the keyboard. He plays catchy numbers on all three instruments during his routine.
