“The Slums of Paris.”
10 men, 4 women. Open in 2 spec, goes to F.S. special. A vigorous dramatic pantomime by clever people. The story gives an insight into Apache life. The dancing of M’lle Amato is a worthy feature.
James F. Kelly & Annie Kent
Open 2 spec., close in 1. Time 19. Sort of burlesque of theatrical agency in which Miss Kent does some very good work. It’s a little too long drawn out.
Lisle Leigh & Co.
2 women. 1 man. “Weaving the Net.” Time 18. C.D.F. A return engagement. A rather improbably but highly dramatic skit. Fair.
Harry Breen
In 1. Time 14. Seemed to please thoroughly. Sings at chain lightning speed from start to finish.
Paul Spadoni
F.S. Spadoni shortened his act owing to the great length of this bill. He is clever as ever and injects good comedy into his work. He carries a man assistant.
Billy Gaston & Isabel D’Armond
Time 20. In 1. They sing and dance about in amusing fashion. They have abundant bright material and know well how to entertain. Miss D’Armond’s petite personality helps out a lot.
Tom Nawn & Co.
2 men 2 women. 2 special scenes. Time 25. A comedy treatment of the theory of reincarnation which is a scream. A remarkable act in which interest never lags. “When Pat Was King.”
4 Melody Monarchs
4 men. In 1. Time 12. 5 men sit at pianos and play in spanking fashion both “popular” songs and compositions of better grade. In between they play accompaniments for a clever young singer who “gets his material over” in electric fashion. In happy spontaneity the act suggest the Three White Kuhns.
Julius Steger & Co.
Time 28. F.S. Special. Time 28. 2 women and 3 men. “The Way To The Heart.” A decided improvement over “The Fifth Commandment.” Dialogue, acting and lines are natural for the most part and the story is vitally interesting. It is free from the absurdities of the former Steger sketch and decidedly more artistic.
The Hanlons
4 men. Time 18. Special F.S. Wonderfully clever comedy pantomime scoring a big hit.
