Last week of her engagement; no change in the programme; continues to draw well. Unquestionably Miss Fuller’s Dance of the Archangel is far superior to her other efforts; it is a marvel of grace and beauty and makes a great impression upon her audiences. Full stage; time 15 minutes.
“The Jolly Jollier”. One of the most pleasing little sketches produced here this season. The work of Mr. Barrows as the old bon vivant is exceptionally clever and he is ably assisted by Mr. Lancaster but in the young wife of Miss May, there is much to be desired, as she is extremely affected. The lines of the sketch are bright and pathetic, and the act makes a decided hit under the masterly handling of Mr. Barrows. Full stage; time 23 minutes.
“The Two Actors”. No change in their act; make a go of it however, despite its age, and in the talking scene at the close have gotten well into the good graces of the house. In opening, use full stage, closing in one. Something new would be acceptable from these artists. Time 21 minutes.
Character imitations. A very clever act, much improved, containing new matter beside his Rip Van Winkle performance. His vaudeville work comprises excellent characterizations of Weber and Fields (with a dummy) Jimmy Russeel, Joe Hart, John L. Sullivan, Lew Dockstader and Richard Mansfield. The field covered shows conclusively Mr. Stephen’s versatile ability, and the four scenes given from Rip Van Winkle are also extremely good. He uses several assistants in character and carries his own drops. Made a decided hit here at each performance. 27 mins.
Two men and a woman in a comedy sketch introducing the betting on a horse race. Fair opening act, creating some laughter. Use full stage, closing in one with coon song in German dialect. Time 19 minutes.
Acrobats and Barrel Jumpers. Have a very swell act, one of the best of its kind. Two men in evening dress and a girl; they make a capital closing performance; full stage, 13 minutes.
Monologue and Songs.Her repertoire has not undergone much change since her last visit, but she has a pleasing manner and generally makes good here. What she does do is well done. Works in one. Time 11 minutes.
Has proved to be a good drawing card. The electrical effects produced are novel and very beautiful. Mill Fuller’s entertainment is of a class that stands alone and unequalled in its originality. Has a large force of assistants and the paraphernalia used is most complicated. Full stage; time 19 minutes.
“Her first Divorce Case” A bright little sketch, that does off with snap and vigor; Miss Keene is cleverly vivacious throughout and has competent assistance. Full stage; time 17 minutes.
The man and the Pajama Girl. Capital singing act of 13 minutes. Work in one to great advantage; and the change of costume of Miss Barbaretto from concert dress to Pajamas is a pleasing one and makes a hit.
