In 1. Time 27. Songs and sayings. They do some good work, but on the other hand there is much vulgarity and down right silliness utterly devoid of merit. They dragged the act out terribly and took so little encouragement for an encore that I was afraid somebody would call “get the hook.”
1 woman, 4 men. Time 25. Open inter F.S., shift to 1 special, and keep shifting back and forth. They offer a very funny sketch called, “In and Out.” The dialogue is crisp and original and one monologue a “drunk” gives to a door key is as a bit of work as has been heard here for a long time. The audience appeared to enjoy every moment of this sketch.
Open C.D.F. Time 20. Close in 1. A clever pair who have strung together a lot of bright nonsense. Toward the end they impersonate a couple attending a theater in splendid fashion to a big hand.
Time 17. F.S. interior. 3 men, 2 midgets. A truly wonderful exhibit of balancing, juggling and tumbling. Big hand throughout.
Time 22. 2 men, 1 woman. F.S. attractive special exterior. Baring [sic] a certain pleasing case of presentation, this act is below standard. They give a little musical sketch impersonating shiftless Southern negroes. Their singing and dancing is poor, and sour notes are frequent in their instrumental work. The act is far too long for the material they have.
In 1. Time 14. Stories and mechanical sound imitations. Went well in spite of the fact that there is no change in his material, offered this season over last.
Time 8. C.D.F. 3 midgets. Do original acrobatic work and balancing. Great work meriting better applause than they received.
Time 7. Comedy tumblers and acrobats. C.D. This is a remarkable feature offering entirely unique material in the main. A big hit and deservedly so.
In 1. Time 16. Prima donna. Operatic repertory. The big hit of the show. She sings beautifully. However, a portion of her success here must be excited to the fact that she once sang in stock opera here and built up a large following.
C.D.F. Time 26. Man and woman. “Mrs Bunner’s Bun.” The act suggests Mrs. Peckham’s Carouso in a great many ways, yet there are enough distinct features to make it worth booking. Elita Otis is very funny and kept the audience roaring with laughter.
