Irish vocalist. I was very agreeably surprised with this act as she does not sing badly at all and certainly makes a most attractive appearance and has the good sense to sing the class of music that while not cheap does not go over the heads of the audience. Good singing act. 12 min in one, 2 shows.
This is one of the prettiest features I think we have had in this house. While there was not any of applause at the finish of the act, there was a great deal of it during the performance and many comments of approval were heard. I am sure that it will draw us money. 15 min, full stage, 2 shows.
Colored singing and dancing comedians. This is the ‘Murphy’ of formerly ‘Murphy & Slater’ who has now a women working with him and I believe the act is an improvement over the old act. The man is certainly a clever and unctuous comedian and a very eccentric dancer. They went very strongly indeed. 15 min in one, 3 shows.
Acrobatic comedians and barrel jumping, The acrobatic work of this man is very acceptable, their comedy however is forced and grows tiresome and I am having them omit some of it and hope to improve the act thereby. As a three a day act should be classed as good. 14 min, full stage, 2 shows.
Comedian and mimic who sings a couple of topical songs and some funny stories and imitations. Is all right also in an early portion of the bill and from a three a day standpoint may be classed as fairly good. 14 min in one, 3 shows.
Russian dancers. I don’t think much of this act myself but it went pretty well with the audiences today and is no doubt all right to open the show. 9 min, full stage, 3 shows.
This is a very novel act in which the performers impersonate toys which awaken and go through some clever acrobatic work. The two men do all the work and the woman simply looks pretty and helps fill up the stage. It lends a little atmosphere to the performance. 12 min, full stage, 2 shows. Carry their own scenery.
The ‘Sal Skinner Girl.’ She does a very clever act after the order of ‘Sis Hopkins’ and went first rate although not strong enough really for the place I am giving her on the bill. I make the sacrifice however for the benefit of the show in its entirety which balances up better by placing her here. 10 min, in one, 3 shows.
Singing, dancing and banjo playing. This is a very clever little act the feature of which is the man’s dancing and playing the banjo at the same time. Clever three a day act. Valuable because it is entirely in one, and could stand a little lower in the bill. 15 min, in one, 3 shows.
Lady bag-puncher and man, tramp bicyclist. The comedy of this act is rather tame but the woman is very attractive and is quite skillful as a bag-puncher and the man does some pretty good trick bicycle riding. Good opening three a day act. 14 min, full stage, 3 shows.
