Alfred Kappeler & Audrey Maple
F.S. Special. Time 18. A rather ridiculous act in which the history costumes and customs of Rome and Greece are confused. Maple sings well which is far more than can be said for her partner who is very mediocre.
Swor & Mack
2 men, black face. Time 14. They stall a little too much. Their poker and disc throwing pantomime is great. Dancing fine.
Tuscano Brothers
Roman battle axe throwers and jugglers, a novel variation of the old club throwing idea. In 3 special back drop. Well received.
Nonette
11 minutes in one. Gypsy violinist and singer. As dainty and effective as ever. Puts more strength in playing than is usual with a woman.
Swan and Bambard
2 men. Open 1, close in 2. Time 12. They start with miserable comedy which I can’t understand how they have ever been allowed to keep this long. When they swing into eccentric tumbling, flopping and head spins they are good.
Maxim’s Models
Time 14. F.S. with large gold frame like Marcelle. The paintings posed are all well done and heartily applauded.
Field Brothers
In 1. Time 9. Good eccentric dancers although a little mechanical.
Estelle House
Gertrude Hoffmann’s Revue
12 scenes, all special, except the opening in 1. The depths range back and forth from full stage to 2 throughout the act. 12 chorus girls, 6 Cingalese [sic] men. A gentleman lady-like assistant. This is truly a pretentious offering built about Miss Hoffmann’s rather unusual ability to impersonate famous stars. The most diverting part is the Kellermann burlesque which proved a scream. Miss Hoffmann’s own exclusive, especially imported and personally selected stage crew handles the scenery and accessories in miserable fashion. Miss Hoffmann is magnetic, and although suffering from a cold, injected life and ginger into the feature. Her work seemed to please uniformly.
Jarrow
In 1. Time 16. Trickster humorist. The success of the act is in Jarrow’s ability to get the audience to co-operate with him. He is energetic and bright. Went with plenty of laughs throughout.
