Carlin & Clark
The American Germans. A rather pleasing team of German comedians with a good line of talk and parodies that are funny and at the same time clean. Went very big with our audiences. Street in 1. Time 18 min.
Ralph Stuart & Co.
Condensed version of “By Right of Sword.” 4 people. This clever actor has made a good one act version of his successful play. Like other dramatic stars coming into vaudeville he has made the mistake of surrounding himself with people that are hardly up to the standard. His leading woman is very pretty but amateurish and the men in the cast are weak. The vehicle itself is a good one and with proper support Stuart would have an act that could be featured anywhere. Own set in 3. Time 22 min.
Amaros Sisters & Co.
Parisian novelty act. The three girls, handsomely gowned and making an attractive stage picture, have an act that should be a distinct novelty on any bill. They sing, dance, perform on trapeze and introduce some good physical culture tricks. Special set in 3. Time 11 min.
Percy & Emma Pollock
Musical oddity, “The Lunatic.” This is Emma Pollack, who formerly played soubrette role with Harrigan and Hart, working with her brother, last season with the Models of Jardin de Paris. Scene is supposed to be outside a lunatic alum. Percy Pollack plays a senile old man with a sort of Charlie Bigelow makeup. Their opening song, “I don’t Know” gets a number of laughs and there is some good comedy sprinkled through the sketch. Act needs a few more weeks work before it will be altogether smooth. In the rough it has the earmarks of a pleasing act in 1 that will be a little different that the rest. Own drop in 1. Time 19 min.
Thos. E. Ince & Co.
Comedy sketch, “Sunshine Adams.” 5 people. A rather pleasing light comedy sketch, telling a pretty story and well interspersed with laughs. There is something lacking in the sketch, however, to make it land properly. Went fairly well here today. C.D.Fcy in 3. Time 13 min.
Willie Solar & Alice Rogers
The Real Country Kids. Scarcely a strong enough opening act for this bill but would get by on the small time. Girl is pretty but does not possess an overabundance of talent. The “rube” dance at the finish is well done. Street in 1. Time 10 min.
Ed. Martin’s Dog Bandits
In “The Great Train Robbery.” The dogs worked rather slow this afternoon, probably due to the fact that they have been laying off. The act is one that should prove a distinct novelty and ought to draw money to any house in the country. They have a little act that is away from everything in the dog line and the scenic effects are the best I have ever seen with an animal act. Special set in 4. Time 10 min.
J. Francis Dooley & Corinne Sales
“Pavement Patter.” I do not recall an act that has received such laughter and applause in this house as this one. They were simply a “riot” and that ought to satisfy anyone. Street in 1. Time 29 min.
Bert Von Klein & Grace Gibson
Refined singing and dancing novelty. Their opening song should be changed and will be tomorrow as it does not land. These people have a most pleasing novelty act that will go well on any bill and particularly before an audience appreciating class. They make five changes of costumes, their songs, with the exception of the opening one, are good and act should make a hit anywhere. Moved down from #2 spot. Own plush drop in 2. Time 14 min.
Ross & Moore
Comedians and vocalists. Two comedians in a rather entertaining act in 1. Ross has a good singing voice and Moore is a good Hebrew comedian who does not wear whiskers to get his comedy. Their act takes place in front of a moving picture establishment and they have a good line of patter and some good songs and parodies. Went very well here. Own drop in 1. Time 17 min.
