Two men in the singing, talking and dancing at. The conversation is rather ordinary but nothing at all harmful about it; nothing especially bright, but they do some clever dancing at the finish which carries them off all right. It can be called a fair three-show act. 15 minutes, in one.
man and woman in an exhibition in what can be done with the rope lasso. The act is quite novel and they introduce some rather remarkable methods of handling a rope. There is nothing about the act to get any great amount of applause, but the audience seemed to be very much pleased and interested in it. 10 minutes; full stage.
Banjoist- he does a rather novel act. He dresses the stage with 25 or 30 banjos. He commences his act with the straight selection and then goes into some rather remarkable juggling with banjos, playing at the same time. The act is a good one and valuable from the standpoint of novelty, but somehow or other he doesn’t seem to make such a tremendous hit with the audience, or rather he did not with our audience this afternoon, which I attribute largely to the fact that they don’t seem to appreciate the difficulty of the act. 13 min. full stage.
Vocalist: Nice appearing young girl, and has a light soprano voice of good quality and the faculty of phrasing in a manner that makes her singing clearly understood. She opened with a song in surplice and changed to straight evening dress and close with the older southern songs, which went strong. 12 minutes in one.
Blackface vocalist and dancer. As usual, he is probably the finest dress performer on the vaudeville stage, and is the personification of neatness throughout his entire act. He had two or three new songs this afternoon and some new talk, and made a big hit with his prizefight recitation at the finish. 22 minutes in one.
in their latest sketch entitled “Ticks and Clicks.” This act is a vast improvement over the other one, being much stronger, and gives them a much better opportunity to show their dramatic ability, of which Miss Havel makes a rather unexpected display; in fact, she reads her lines remarkably well. They had a rather a hard place this afternoon on the bill for a talking act and I have moved them up in the night show, so that they will go undoubtedly even better this evening. 20 minutes, full stage.
in a sketch in titled “a Bargain Fiend”. This act is funny and laughable on account of the situation and the theme, which appeals to everyone, being a satire on the bargain craze. It’s got lots of laughs this afternoon and the climax with Mr. Stanton bringing in the old horse, was a tremendous hit. 26 minutes, full stage.
Up-to-date quick fire grotesque in ‘Fun On a Broom Handle.’ Two men, both working eccentric. They do talking, dancing and acrobatic work. Their acrobatic work is very good, and they also have some good material. The comedy is very good and they had the audience laughing all the time. Went very well. 13 minutes, full stage. Two shows.
In ‘Uncle Ruben’s Birthday.’ This is only a fair act. The first part of the act is too talky, and if they would cut out some of the talk, the act would go much better. The man is very funny on the Roller Skates. The boy and girl are fair singers and dancers. Went fair. 21 minutes, full stage and close in one. Three shows.
Presents the miniature musical comedy ‘Paradise Alley.’ This is a very good act. Nine people, five girls and four men. The girls are all good looking, and they make several changes of costume all of which are good, and they are all good singers. Went very well. 23 minutes, full stage.
