Three Leightons
3 men. Time 17. C.D. Still doing their “One Night Stand In Minstrelsy.” This excellent merger of comedy, songs and dancing has been changed a little and goes with a big laugh. Close in one.
Bothwell Browne
Time 10. Open in 2 special back drop. Close in 4. Special Egyptian interior. Female impersonator. The holiday audience enjoyed the act. However I do not consider nearly as good as that done by Eltingo.
Dora Ronca
In 1. Time 10. Violinists. A flashy impression of energy with a fair amount of music. The inevitable “Traumeroi” played to a good hand. The lady obliges by dancing to her own accompaniment toward the close.
Anita Diaz’s Monkeys
In 3 palace. Time 11. Clever simian entertainers. Some new tricks.
Nan Engleton & John Sturgeon
In “A Fool’s Folly.” This is a costume playlet from the pen of Oliver White. Has a most entertaining story, is finely cast and well mounted and held the very closest attention from the audience. Act ought to be well liked on the big time. Own set in 3. Time 21 min.
Goleman’s Cat’s & Dogs
Time 15. F.S. Woods. Goleman has unusually beautiful animals. There is an impression of novelty about much of the material. However there are some thoroughly dull intervals. Another bad feature is that every animal appears afraid of Goleman.
Pat Rooney & Marion Bent
“At The Newstand.” Open in special back drop, close in 1. Time 15. These delightful dancers and entertainers went with their customary hit.
Valerie Bergere & Co.
2 men, 5 women. “Judgement”. Time 20. Interior dwelling room. This a vigorous argument against conviction on “circumstantial evidence.” In many ways I believe it the most dramatic bit Miss Bergere has yet offered. The act is new and will undoubtedly improve in details, but as it stands it should prove a sensation on any bill.
Lynch & Zeller
In 1. Time 7. Indian club throwers and jugglers. These two young men are wonders and have a big margin of superiority on any act of this nature I have ever seen. I believe they received more applause for a “dumb” act than any I have ever witnessed.
Russell & Smith’s Minstrels
3 men. Open in 3 special back drop. Close in 1. Time 25. A good minstrel touch with exceptionally fine singing. However the time is too long. Motion pictures are needlessly introduced and add nothing to the act. In this particular case with pictures occurring in the preceding act, the coincidence makes unfortunate booking.
