In a singing sketch, “A Regular Army Man.” A very interesting act, good company, a particularly good singing male chorus and good comedy by Mr. Morley. The act was thoroughly all right in every way except for a bum drop. They should be made to secure a decent set of scenery. In spite of this it went over well. 25 min F.S.
Tom Dingle has developed into a first rate comedian. They may have some very snappy and uptodate dialogue and Dingle’s dancing, of course, always goes well. Corcoran is a capable assistant. The act scored a hit. 16 min. in one.
Here is a brand new idea, a novelty that will attract women, with the very newest creations in dresses. Unfortunately the women are not clever as performers, therefore the full result is not obtained from the act. The act pleases. 11 min. in Two.
This is the only act in the bill that fell down. Nothing but the picturesque side of the act gives it any value. The bagpipe playing is all right. It is a little novelty, but their acrobatic work is decidedly slow and they fail to score very strongly. 10 Min. F.S.
Well-known comedy act. It is only necessary to say that they made a big hit. 20 Min. Open in Two. Close in One.
In their new act “The Path of the Primroses.” This sketch is decidedly different from anything these people have given in vaudeville. It is a decided novelty and gave splendid satisfaction. 24 Min. open F.S. Close in One.
Two men in a singing act which is out of the usual rut and which pleased the audience most decidedly. 15 Min. in One.
Well-known comedy singing and piano act. Fared first rate in this spot. 17 Min. in One.
In a very clever singing, dancing, eccentric comedy act, which got over very nicely and could have held a better spot on the bill. 15 Min. in One.
Lady cellist. No doubt the best performer upon this instrument and also as good a musical offering as we have presented. I want to say that Miss Ruegger is a drawing card in herself; she is well known to all musical people through her connection as soloist with the Boston Symphony, New York Philharmonic and the Chicago Thomas Orchestra, as well as having appeared in recitals in almost all of the cities. The large sprinkling of musical people in evidence this afternoon showed that drew her share of the big audience. 14 min in two. Can work in one.
