Charles Nevin and Lydia Arnold
Splendidly dressed pair with several striking costume changes. Miss Arnold needs training in legmania, she lacks grace and the knowledge of what to do with her hands.
Harry and Margaret Vokes
Mr. Vokes wears old time tramp makeup. Supported by Tony Williams who never gets a chance to do anything and Winifrid Spaulding, an exceedingly nice looking girl who is the only one permitted to wear attractive clothes. The chief fun making scene is a policeman beating a man after mistaking him for a burglar.
Gertie Reynolds and Her “Twirlie Girlies”
The “Twirlie Girlies” don’t dance much but make an effective background. The first number resemble “The Village Cutups” in which they wear costumes too hideous in cut and colour to be funny. Miss Reynolds has a quick change and then has the stage to herself for a graceful doll dance. The final number was the best, with the girls in short panties of green velvet.
Bowers, Walters and Crooker
A few dances and a vast quantity of knock about comedy. All three dance well and their acrobatics are funny. They close with a burlesque baseball game.
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Monroe
The novelty is in the setting from which the sketch derives it’s name. A combination drop which unfolds to represent a “centre door fancy”setting. Mr. Monroe is not an actor in the true sence.
Millard Brothers
The comedy end is a reckless rider. Has a poor idea of how to dress to obtain a comdey effect. A new costume should be secured as a shirtwaist, a bonnet and a pair of trousers is not humorous. The trick of riding backwards down a flight of stairs is relied upon as the feature.
Frank E. McNish
Appeared in a worn and dirty looking checkered suit with trousers held up over with suspenders over a forbidden shirt. Exracts from his old act. Some dancing and table work.
“Six Sophomores”
The setting is a girl college taken from an act known as “Schoolboys and Schoolgirls.” Comedey comes from Mr.Hume kissing the young women. No change of costume. The girls are selected with more care than has been given to the act.
James J. Corbett
Had the advantage of a smaller stage.
DeMille Comic Opera Company
Twelve people in the cast. The scene is set in a forest in France during the reign of Louis XV. “The King (Alfred Kappeler),invading the woods with his suite, including the Due de Richelieu (N. K. Cafferty) meets Oliva, a shepherdess (Mabel McCane), with whom he falls in love, preserving an incognito. His tender feeling being reciprocated by the girl, Richelieu attempts a separation and as a final recourse declares the King’s identity to the maiden, who immediately forswears his affections in a melodious singing finale.”
