French Musical Masqueraders. Only a fair act; two men and a woman in fantastic dress, accompany their singing with guitar and violin; the violin solo of Mascagni’s “Intermezzo” very well done, which is the only feature of the act. All in one; time 17 minutes. Best of their selections too operatic for vaudeville.
In “The soldier of Propville”; a quaint, quiet act usually well handled; Mr. Ramonde dresses and acts the part of the decrepit old man with much skill. Carry their own scenery and props. Full stage; time 20 minutes.
Hand to hand athletes. Make fine appearance; many of their tricks are new and they turn off their work in an easy, effective style which makes good. Worked in one, but should perform in two or three. Time 10 minutes.
Acrobatic song and dance artists. Are pleasant, healthy looking girls and have a fair opening act, much of which is on the contortion order with some rough and tumble rolling. Work in two time 10 minutes.
By long odds the hit of the show. Very clever artists both. Guyer’s comedy is novel and amusing, but his tough dance with Miss Daly, making a rough house climax is one of the best things produced here this season. It has scored a great success. Full stage; time 13 minutes.
“A Bathroom Scandal” Assisted by Tom Terriss. The linen of this skit are considerable of a disappointment. Both artists are clever and with something more worthy of their talent to work on, would undoubtedly make a hit. There is very little action however, and the dialogue is vapid in the extreme. Full stage. Time 19 minutes.
Street talking act in one. Very fair performers. Their stuff is funny and new, most of it, and they have introduced some clever comedy, using the house actor to great advantage. As a whole, they please very well. Time 19 minutes.
Sketch “Half Way House.” A very clever playlette, but dangerously like “The Soldier of Propville,” both in word, action, effects and situations. The Fishers make the best of a very bright dialogue, which goes very well. Full stage; time 18 minutes.
Vocalist and Musician. Please refined act. Miss Bindley presents a most striking appearance, plays gracefully and sings well. Opens with full stage; closes in one. Is exceedingly entertaining. Time 14 minutes.
Star Messo-Soprano. Has a voice of wonderful sweetness of expression, and her selections made a decided hit. Used grand piano accompaniment only with full stage. For concert work however, her rendition is extremely operatic, but as a whole, her engagement was a great success. Time 15 minutes.
