Instrumentalists. A strictly high class musical act; man and a woman. The woman’s playing on the harp being exceptionally fine; but she should cut her singing and do more harp playing, as therein lies the success of the act. Full stage, finishing in one. 23 min.
“The Wrong man.” There is absolutely nothing to this sketch; they consumer 12 minutes in senseless talk, after which her imitations run smoothly. The first part should be cut entirely. Mr. Titus cannot talk, but he can play. Full stage; time 25 minutes.
Comedy Jugglers. A man and a woman. The woman doesn’t juggle much, and the man not at all, but he breaks more crookery in the allotted time than all his predecessors put together. His great hit is in his facial expression, which is one of absolute vacuity and astonishment, and in his well assumed awkwardness. The act is extremely funny all the way through and makes a laughing hit. Full stage; time 18 minutes.
Black Face Monologist. Has some new stuff, with which he makes quite a hit. Is a good, smooth conversationalist and his stories create some laughter. Works in one; time 22 minutes.
European Dancer. Her name is somewhat of a drawing feature, and her act, although very short, shows wonderful grace and agility. Her appearance is exceptionally attractive, and she seems to work without apparent effort. Has a male assistant in her Spanish Dance, which is very effective. Full stage; time 6 minutes.
Operatic Soprano. Has an exceptionally well trained voice, and with her pleasing stage appearance and well selected songs, forms an interesting part of the entertainment. Is filling the place of Marion Manola, who was taken sick the first part of the week. Works in one; time 11 minutes.
The Circus Rider and Ringmaster. Absolutely no change whatever in this act. Notwithstanding this, it seems to go well with the audience. Hayes is a very clever acrobat and the little fellow always gets his share of the laughs. Full stage. Time 16 minutes.
Song and Dance Comedians. Good opening act; no change from their last appearance here, but always make good. They have a clever bit of slum life with a tough dance, which goes well. Passquelina’s change in last half of act is very acceptable. Use full stage, closing in one; time 21 minutes.
“Fun in a Turkish Bath” Very poor piece of comedy in which they are helped by a man and a small boy, but the Provosts are exceedingly clever tumblers with a lot of startling tricks, which saves the act and makes it a good closer. Full stage. Time 12 minutes.
“The Hoodoo”. This act should be decently buried; everybody is sick of it. These artists have not added a new word or situation to their offering, and it is very tiresome, particularly as they are really clever people and good entertainment should be expected from them; use the house man to advantage. Full stage, closing in one. Time 25 minutes.
