Will Archie
The audience takes to him at once because of his size and and chubby face. He plays different characters in the drama by changing hats with wigs attached.
George H. Wood
Had material different from his last appearance
The Three Mitchells
Were cut down to two this week after the smaller woman was found wanting.
Mlle. Renie de Paris
Has an expressive face, her sucess was due to this.
Mr. and Mrs. Jean Bregnant
“Two dwarfs…neither is deformed.” The woman is daity and fairylike.
Gertrude Mansfield and Caryl Wilbur
This clever pair have ample scope to demonstrate their powers. Wilbur plays a double role of twin brothers. He makes a good distinction between the two without wardrobe changes. Miss Mansfield as the boarding Mistress has a part well suited to her.
“Araco”
A man, without the large body of the usual figure, representing an automaton. A woman announces the figure and thereafter a man attends to the details, the woman sitting at a switch board operating the keys. “A wig is nailed to the head of the figure on a false top, and through palming, glass eyes are apparently placed in the sockets. The lips are held together with pins, placed through them in view of the audience”
Henry Lee
Has added Col. Mann, John D. Rockefeller and Jon Paul Jones to his repitiore, dropping Andrew Carnegie. As Rockefeller, he wears a poor wig. As Jones he believes that he must of resembeled him as he looked and spoke like himself other than the costume. The changes are being done quicker.
John Hyams and Leila McIntyre
Lionel E. Lawrence
Mr. Lawrence suffered a attack of blindness last week so the act may be rough around the edges. The young women report to Lawrence in their street costumes and he put them through formations and steps. Asks a girl if he hasn’t fired her six times before. Has some comedy with the stage hands when they refuse to put up a sky border and threaten to kick him out. Alex Munroe, a tenor, sings a pretty ballad in the opening. One of the girls is allowed to do disagreeable things with her gum. That should be dropped.
