Theater: Hippodrome

Two Vivians

Time 12. Man & woman. This well known sharpshooting act proved as great a success at the opening matinee today as it did on its former visit. Very little change.

Jack & Violet

F.S. Time 15. The first five minutes is wasted in mediocre lariat work, the better of which has been seen here time and time again. Kelly is undoubtedly a skillful stock whip manipulator, yet I would not class him ahead of Fred Lindsey. Kelly has a deliberate manner which slackens up the speed of his offering and hence does not make his work an ideal attraction to close a show with.

Gene Greene

Time 20. In 1. Man at piano. An energetic young singer whose selections are all good. Scored heavily.

“The Horse Dealer.”

Time 15. 4 men, 1 woman, 4 horse. F.S. with some special settings. This is a very odd sketch. The plot deals with the efforts of a swindler to dispose of four horses in turn to a man who knows nothing about horses. Some very funny situations results. It is a big comedy success although there is a note of oddity about it that apparently puzzled the audience for a time.

Three California Girls

Time 13. C.D.F. A high grade musical can vocal offering presented with excellent taste.

Rita Redfield

Time 16. 1, 2, 1. Juvenile impersonator with pleasing voice. A mild success.

Vittorio & Georgetto

Time 9. 2 men. Open F.S. close in 2 with special back drop. Knockabout tumblers and comedians. Novel.

Howard’s Dog’s & Ponies

Man & woman. 6 dogs, 4 ponies. The conventional line of work well done. Nothing at all extraordinary except a very clever finish.
