Four Floods
F.S. Special back drop. 4 men, all in comedy makeup. Very good tumbling and funny slap stick work. Good hands throughout.
Ben Johnson
In 1. Time 15. Johnson is well known and popular here, facts that may explain much of the applause he got. His stories are fair. His impression of Jefferson is good, but his travesty of Richard Mansfield seems in poor taste. He has not caught the vaudeville spirit of entertaining yet.
Ollie Young & April
In 1. Time 12. 2 women. Novelty manipulators. The best part of the act is soap bubble juggling which is very fine.
Odiva
“The Living Mermaid” or “Venus of the Deep.” This little woman does something, and that something is might cleverly done in addition to the simple dives others are doing. Splendid value for the money and best of all of this kind of acts. Full stage.
George B. Reno & Co.
In 3 special back drop. Time 21. 4 men. Odd freaks of humanity in broad comedy military costumes roughhousing over the stage in mock military drills. A little too long drawn out. Rest went well for the most part.
Clipper Quartette
In 1. 4 men. Time 15. When they sing, they sing well. Most of the time is taken up by a Dutchman chasing a “sinny” [sic] about the stage. They were laughed at and applauded, but the act would have a more intelligent appeal if more singing was done and much of their brand of comedy was eliminated.
Della Fox
In 1. Time 14. A very doubtful and labored start. About half way through she caught the audience and closed with a big hand. Her final success was a genuine surprise considering the cool start. Songs, chiefly in masculine attire.
Old Soldier Fiddlers
8 old soldiers. Special camp ground scene in 4. A rousing big hit. The old fellows “fiddle” out ancient tunes and mingle with them martial airs. They had the audience standing at the close. Unique, simple, effective.
Baseballitis
Evers-Wisdom & Co. 2 men, 1 woman. Time 20. A rapid action farce act in the home of a “fan”. The fun is chiefly rough but there are many bright lines.
Carl Randall
In 1. Time 10. A clever juvenile working much in the style of Laddie Cliff in songs. Randall’s dancing however is individual and accurate. A hit.
