Models of physical culture. Three men with a cylorama [sic] drop of red velvet and a velvet covered platform, reproducing bronze works of famous masters, and doing strong stunts. This act is A1 in every detail and will make a hit on any bill. It is really an unusual act of its kind.
14 minutes in one. Loney Haskell is the act, although Don does make a few noises that sound like words. The audience here took the act good naturedly and seemed satisfied with the canine’s vocabulary. The dog’s mistress adds finish to the offering by several bows after the interpretation of the pet’s conversation. As in all animal acts meat is the inducement. If this act is not put before the public too seriously, and the audience is not led to believe that they are going to hear oratory from “Don” it will go well. (Cincinnati)
Pantomime sketch, 10 people. Special set, full stage, 16 to 18 minutes. Good act, with every opportunity for Mlle. Amato to show that she is the star. Bare backs, be-ribboned corset covers and milk hosiery are displayed in great abundance. The act carries a musical director. (Cincinnati)
Three boys, 17 minutes, opening in one, going to palace in 2 and closing in one. Using in the second position a grand piano. These boys sing character songs very well, have the act dressed nicely and introduce some novelties. They were well received at both performances Monday. (Indianapolis)
8 men, 1 boy, 1 girl. Time 8. Acrobats. Make a flashy entrance with picturesque Spanish costumes. Their work is only average good with one or two flashes of merit to lift the offering out of the commonplace.
3 women, 7 men. F.S. special. An attractive “garden party” instrumental act with a little singing. Everything high class, although there seems to be too much volume at times. Close in 1 with an instrumental medley. Time 25.
2 men. Time 12. About the average German singing and talking act.
C.D.F. 2 men, 2 women. Time 22. “The Prima Donna’s Honeymoon.” One of the best comedy sketches seen here in a long time. It deals with the trials of a man who marries an operatic state, and exceedingly funny and novel situations develop. Not a slow second. A genuine success deserving highest praise.
In 1. Time 23. Singing comedienne with quiet and eccentric methods. Her voice is powerful and sweet. She has several attractive gowns. Nearly every line she sang was full of double interpretation although nothing was far “off color.” A big hit.
Time 7. F.S. Carry two men assistants. A remarkable acrobatic offering full of novelties and quick surprises. Much applause throughout.
