Ethel Clifton and Company
Miss Clifton played in an sincere manner. Thomas Chatterton as a misjudged husband, looked well. Paulina Rona did the best possible as an Irish chef although any other nationality would have been prefered.
Latina
A extremely healthy looking woman. She is stout but bends herself into the usual positions while working her way through a hoop on a platform.
Claude Gillingwater and Company
A girl sacrifices the feelings of her heart to marry a man with money. Her lover becomes rich and returns in time to stop the marriage. There is a useless sister, a butler and a police man. Gillingwater plays a dual role. The rough housing a wrestling is cut out and it runs smoother.
Arnot and Gunn
A sketch of a character that lacks conviction. An Isrishman and his wife. After the letter comes, he makes extravagant purchases of furniture and clothing until a second letter comes and informs him it was a joke and he must send all his purchases back. Mr. Gunn plays carefully but Miss Arnot does not enter the spirit of her character. Her make up is not convicing.
Byers and Hermann
Shown some time ago in Brooklyn. They have changed the finish to good effect. The rope walking is a drop from the liveliness.
Electric Crickets
supposed to be a revised edition of the former act of the same name. New management under Joseph Hart. No change is shown. A new setting and drop di not add to the effectivness. The electrical lighting of the girls has not been improved and there is not enough of it. The same cotton tights are worn.
John Gilroy and the English Rosebuds
The girls are clever dancers and save the act. Girls are dressed in ballet costumes.
Lillian Apel and Company
Has some assistance from Frances Byrne. Opens with a street scene with Miss Apel coming from a ball with a large amount of white stockings showing. She is accosted by a man who accepts her proffer of a kiss but does noy perceive that the grotesque features are a mask. There is a change to a two room hotel set where the flirtation continues. The girl gets caught on the transom when the chair falls beneath her while she is spying on the man. Finishes with the exchange of two wrongly delivered suitcases.
Delight Barsch
Performers dress as Japanese. The figures are rather well worked out and it is a lively bunch of well trained girls.
Harry Calvo
The idea is old and he gives it no new twists.
