This act I brought back for this week for a reason engagement, they having played here last Thanksgiving week, when they were a tremendous hit. The advance applause which greeted them on their entrance showed that no mistake was made in bringing them back. They duplicated their success of the earlier engagement. 21 Min. in One.
Well-known monologuist, who duplicated the success that he has been credited with in other houses. 20 Min. in One.
In a comedy sketch entitled “The Obstinate Miss Granger.” This is the first time in a big house with this sketch. It made good most thoroughly. It is essentially a comedy act with just a little touch of seriousness to it. It is the kind of thing, I think wold please in almost any show; not a headline act nor one to put down at the bottom of your bill, but anywhere in the middle of the program, I think will give thorough satisfaction. It gave evident pleasure to our audiences today. 20 Min. F.S.
Comedienne, singing a number of songs with changes of costumes. Miss Tracey objected to her place in the bill, but I prevailed upon her to play, but she wants it made generally known that will not again appear as early as No. 2 in any bill. She has a pleasing little act. Could have gone a little further down the bill with safety but there is nothing about it that is particularly striking or any reason to worry if she doesn’t play. 15 Min. in One.
Trapezist. A good fast act which is thoroughly all right to place in any bill in the world. Does some very unusual tricks, lightning like speed. All in all it is an excellent opening act. 7 Min. F.S.
Two men in blackface, a young girl harpest, and a lady saxophonists; the latter is easily that star of the act. The blackface comedy is antiguated [sic]. They went very well with the holiday audience and probably in some other city might be liked, but aside from the saxaphone [sic] playing I don’t believe our regular clientele will care from them. 25 minutes; open and close in one.
Two young men with pleasing voices, but only fair ability, who by no means compare with the #2 acts we have been having of late. Most of their laughs and applause are secured by very questionable methods. 15 minutes in one.
Violiniste and dancing, an unusual combination. Both of the performers are artistic and the act scored a big hit. 16 minutes f.s.
Well known comedy sketch that repeated its former success. These people are cheating in their scenery most decidedly. Some of their stuff is so bad that I cut it out and replaced it with house stuff. They are not carrying a carpenter, which I believe they formerly did, and we are paying the same salary for an inferior article, at least as far as the “picture” is concerned. 18 minutes, f.s.
In a farce with musical interpolations. Company consists of Mr. Brown, one other man, three female principals and six chorus girls. Lots of good comedy and attractive musical numbers. They held the audience intact to the finish and pleased thoroughly. 50 minutes f.s.
