Asaki
Japanese skater and juggler. A good opening act, but he gets too much money. I suppose he needs it now that he carries a Japanese lady with him to hand him a couple of props. 10 minutes full stage.
Bee Ho Gray
Assisted by Ada Somerville and a beautiful horse, “Onion.” Mr. Gray is one of the best rope throwers we have ever had. The horse does some exceptionally good tricks, besides being a very beautiful animal. The act as a whole is an exceptionally good one, and makes a pleasing closing to a very fine bill. 12 minutes, full stage.
Mullen & Coogan
Two men in a rough comedy act. I think of a great many of the audience, like myself, do not care for Mullen & Coogan. The remainder of the people who see them like them exceedingly well, and they make a good low-comedy contrast in a bill of this kind. 18 minutes. In one.
Lynne Overman & Co.
In a sketch ‘The Highest Bidder.’ Of course Mr. Overman has exceptional value to us, as he is one of the leading men of our stock company. While the sketch might not be as valuable in other cities. It is, nevertheless, a very good vehicle, splendidly played. 20 minutes. Full stage.
Mullaly Pingree Co.
Two men and a woman in one of the lighter sketches I have seen in many a day. The word by one of the men is particularly good, and the act is full of laughs. Its only fault is the lack of a good finish, thereby depriving it of much applause, but the laughs are there all through and that is the value of the act. 17 minutes, full stage.
Togan & Geneva
Dancing on the wire. A youthful appearing young man and young woman whose work – at least by the young man – is the best I ever saw. An act that I could be put in the middle on the bill and make a good showing. In the opening position it was nothing short of a sensation. 10 minutes. Full stage.
Watson Sisters
These girls met with a cordial reception, plenty of advance applause from their audience, and lots of applause for their songs. When compared with many other women who are getting the same salary – having in mind Sophie Tucker – I consider them a splendid bargain. 16 mins. in one.
Julie Ring & Co.
In “Twice a Week.” I will have to say that this act fared very poorly indeed. Is a great disappointment. I don’t know where all the laughs are I have been told about; certainly didn’t get them today. 20 mins, F.S.
Rose Schemettan & Brother
This act was originally booked to open the show, which spot they held splendid style. They can also close satisfactorily. They do handbalancing and juggling but it is all presented in a very attractive manner. An act every one should play. 10 min. F.S.
Weston & Clare
Two young fellows in a singing and dancing act of the kind that vaudeville is being overrun with. If they would only change their makeup and not appear in dress suits, as do practically all the others, that might help the act some. The boys are clever enough, but the public is tired of this sort of act. 10 mins, F.S.
