Known as the Modern Witch. This woman, with the assistance of a man, does some really remarkable lightning calculations, and much of it without either seeing or hearing the figures. There is no doubt but that she is the best in that line that has ever appeared in vaudeville, but it is somewhat doubtful if she makes the success Inaudi did here. I am not exactly clear whether she will make a strong feature or not, and would rather wait for two or three more performances before deciding. 24 minutes. Full stage.
Irish comedians, one made up eccentric and the other straight. They introduce a good line of comedy and close with the burlesque drama business formerly done by Brice and Inman. Went very strong this afternoon. 23 minutes, full stage. Close in one.
Three men in an acrobatic comedy act. One made made [sic] up eccentric and the other two straight. Keno is a pretty good comedian in his way, and the other two men are exceptionally good acrobats. This is a strong all round act. 18 minutes. Full stage.
NH-2. Two young men who do a rather clever specialty in which they introduce some acceptable piano playing, and concluded with some original songs and parodies, both of them being very good singers. This is a good act throughout. 20 min. open full stage close in one.
NH-3. A colored man and woman in an extremely good singing and talking act. Also introducing a little eccentric dancing. Consider the act about as good as any of the colored acts that play the house. 12 minutes in one.
GRR-3. Man and Woman in a singing and talking act. The first part of their act this afternoon was very poor, but they finished all right with some coster singing, etc. I had them change first part of act back and use the same material that they did the last time, and it will doubtless go much better. 16 minutes in one.
SR-3. A rather pretty young girl, introducing small musical act, playing on sleigh bells, trombone and one or two other instruments. Quite dainty little act. 9 min. full stage. Can work in one if necessary.
GRB-2. I expected this fellow to die an awful death following Guyer and Daly, and especially as for various reasons, the show was about half an hour late. To my great surprise he walked on and next to Guyer and Daly made the hit of the bill. 15 minutes in one.
Consisted of one man and three girls in an act called “Scenes in a Dressing Room” and concluding with one of Hermann’s illusions. The act seemed to please all right, although I cannot see it for any big money. It is a lively working sketch, but the people themselves are awfully affected, and I can only class it as a good act. 24 minutes, open full stage, close in one.
GNH-2. Two girls and one man in a contortion act; one of the girls and the man making the best contortions that I ever saw in my life. There are assisted by a woman who plays the piano and who is somewhat superfluous, although she is not on but a few minutes and helps to fill up the stage. An exceptionally clever act. 15 minutes; full stage.
