As usual a very strong act. Master Frank has a good deal of hard work cut out for him in his imitation of Creatore, the eccentric Band Leader and makes a most decided hit with it. Little Byrle is as cute and fascinating as ever, and received an enthusiastic reception at each performance. Full stage, closing in one. Time 28 minutes.
Ventriloquist. Has introduced a few new features to his already prolific act. He works his mechanical figures cleverly and the number of changes of voice, expression and patois, prove him to be a headliner in this class of work. Full stage; closing in one. Time 17 minutes.
English jester. Has a new set, which is a good opener. He continues to demolish everything in sight and creates the usual responsive laugh. Full stage. Time 13.
A good act that with its mysterious intent causes continued comment. Some of the situations create much laughter and one the whole scores a success. Full stage. Time 9 minutes.
The Rialto Belles consist of eight young women and a leader who render three songs with figure dancing and light effects. The act was good deal of a disappointment and failed to carry. The introduction of Miss Burns at the close of their act proved to be an unprecedented drawing card, filling the house at each performance with high class audiences, who watched and listened to her short act with engrossed attention. Miss Burn’s appearance was certainly remarkably prepossessing. Used full stage; time 17 minutes.
In ‘Electric Boys’. Rather a poor attempt at a humorous sketch and therefore received but mild commendation. These people with a better vehicle for comedy would undoubtedly be able to score, but as it is they fall short. Use the house man with full stage. Time 23 min.
In ‘Brocky’s Temptation’. Same old act without change or variation. Are clever artists and as the sketch is well worded and true to slumming life, always finds a ready acceptance with our audiences. Full stage and use the house actor is small speaking part. Time 23 min.
Eccentric comedians. A good opening act; using full stage. Have a dummy figure and one of them does a comedy donkey act of slack wire, which goes well in its absurdity. Close in one. 11 min.
“A Winter Session”. Are old favorites at this house, though the act is not a new one, it makes a hit; many of the situations are very funny and Miss Carleton’s appearance is very pleasing. Use the house man in speaking part. Full stage. Time 21 minutes.
In “Capt. Huntington”. A breezy comedy sketch in which Mr. Sullivan is ably supported by Miss Atherton. Some of the comedy falls short, notably the business with the workbasket, which play too important a part; Sullivan’s long speech is very well done and shows the artist; as a whole, a good act; full stage: time 28.
