Big City Quartette
4 men. In 1. Time 17. No comedy. They sing numerous selections ensemble and in solo. Were high class throughout.
Denman Thompson & Co.
Open in 1 (our street drop). Close F.S. special interior. Time 18. 1 woman, 1 girl, 3 men. The instant Mr. Thompson appeared he received an ovation which lasted two minutes, indicating that he undoubtedly had brought in many of his old friends. The sketch, “Joshua Whitcomb” is quaint and old fashioned but full of truly humorous touches. Mr Thompson’s age is not evident on the stage. He gets through the lines and situations in lively fashion when speed is required.
El Cota
In 1. Time, 10. Xylophone soloist. Very fine.
Louis Simon, Grace Gardner & Co.
2 men, 2 women. Time 33. They are playing the old act, “The New Coachman” for the first time here in two years. Evidently it was new to most of the audience for it went with plenty of laughter. It seems just a trifle too long, however.
Fred Dupree
In 1. Time 10. Parodist and comedian. Engaging personality, good material in songs and talk. Big hit.
Clark & Bergman
Man and woman. Time 13. In 1. Sing and dance well. The man makes a foozle at being a dialect comedian.
De Gar Sisters
2 girls. Time 8. Palace in 5. Pretty girls who do acrobatic dances gracefully.
Will Rogers
F.S. woods. Time 10. Male assistant horseback rider. Rogers is an expert lariat manipulator. He has an odd line of comedy conversation that fits in well with his work. He was a hit.
Lew Hawkins
In 1. Time 16. Black face monologist with some songs. Generally poor with one or two bright moments.
Valerie Bergere & Co.
Time 25. “The Sultan’s Favorite.” Special F.S. 3 women, 2 men. Bergere is a great favorite here and hence was greeted with advance applause and encouragement throughout. The sketch is very light and farcical and in my opinion does not give Miss Bergere a chance to display her well known ability to advantage. The theme is novel and the setting highly attractive.
