1 woman, 2 men, 1 little boy. Time 28. Mr. Edwards carries the woman for the spotlight on the box effect. The little boy comes down the aisle from among the audience and “kindly obliges” with a refrain or two. Otherwise the act is laconic. Mr. Edwards’ engaging personality and his imitable method of exploiting his own compositions puts him down on record as one of the biggest hits of the season. His final applause was deafening.
Time 28. Open stage. To 1. Close in 3 interior, 3 men, 1 woman. Mr. Lind has built up a little sketch on the theme of a Monday morning rehearsal and a long lost daughter. He finds his daughter playing in the orchestra of the theatre in which he is rehearsing. While there are pathetic moments, the sketch is chiefly and agent for comedy and for Mr. Lind’s singing.
9 collies and 3 Scotchmen. Time 11. An unusually well trained group of animals performing unique tricks. Applauded from start to finish.
2 men, 1 woman. Time 22. “Wanted—A Sister.” A really clever college sketch with bright lines and laughable situations. The start is a little slow and should be cut several minutes.
2 men, (1 black face, 1 clown comedy). Cook dances and gets a fair hand. Juggling good. He finishes with a short circus act working a ball up an incline plain and bumping down slope. Too many kinds of entertainment for any one to stand out well.
Ten beautiful animals. They perform in an iron cage. Alber has trained these big beasts in a series of clever feats with considerable comedy. The act is fascinating and creates much talk whenever it appears here.
This is a very showy feature. The troupe enters the ring in a tally-ho. While driving around they execute surprisingly rapid and skilled acrobatics, bounding to the horses’ backs and back into the seats.
6 women, 10 minutes. Open with a little fast ground acrobatics. The big part of the act is aerial flying a la Ourzon sisters. The act is pretentious and well done. Splendid vaudeville feature.
Barrel jumper and equilibrist. Nemo works quickly and does clever barrel jumping while blindfolded and tied. A hit.
Dainty and skillful equestrienne in highly difficult and effective work.
