Theater: Shea's

Arthur Buckner

The Cycle Marvel He is without doubt one of the best, his riding is of the sensational kind and holds the people until the finish. Full stage. 17 min

Elsie Janis

This clever little mimic, is one of the hits of the show, her imitations, of Vesta Tilley, Anna Held, Eddie Foy, and Dan Daley are very clever. All in one. 21 min.

Mildred Grover and Picks

Singing her songs in a clever manner, and her Picks, are going big with their dancing. All in one. 15 min.

Albert Chevalier

It would indeed be a very nervy writer who would attempt to critise this artist. What he does is done perfectly and while his material may not appeal to the unintelligent theatre-goer he made an instant and emphatic hit with our audience. He was recalled repeatedly at both performances on Monday and a splendid week’s business is assured. Nothing in his line has ever been seen here before and he is drawing the very best people in the city, although the larger part of the audience is always made up of this class. A return date of this man some months from now, say in the fall would bring very big returns, works in one 24 minutes.

An Indian Romance

Written by Mrs. V. Mott Pierce, daughter-in-law to Dr. R.V. Pierce the famous patient medicine man. Mrs. Pierce being a resident of Buffalo the sketch is one of unusual local interest but at the same time carries considerable merit as well as being artistic. Mrs. Pierce has gone to the expense of special scenery and light effects which are as beautiful as anything ever seen in vaudeville. There are three people in the act, one and [sic] indian [sic], one a cowboy, and one a supposedly indian [sic] maid who afterwards turns out to be a white girl. Miss Young who plays the maid is a sister of Mrs. Pierce and Mr. Fred House who plays the cowboy is Miss Young’s husband. Mr. House closed with the Providence Stock Co. to open here with this sketch. The idea of the act is entirely different from any other and it is well played. I believe it would make a good attraction in any theatre whether Mrs. Pierce was known there or not, full stage 18 minutes.

Bert Leslie and Bob Dailey & Co.

This is one of the greatest comedy sketches we have ever had. The way that Leslie hands out slang is a treat. There is nothing rough about him and nothing the most refined person could complain of but his slang is a perfect marvel and his manner of delivering it is great. This act could close any show and hold all the people, full stage 20 mins.

Marcus & Gartelle

A very good opening act or could even go second or third on the bill. Their finish on roller skates is extremely funny and makes a big hit with the audience, full stage, close in 14 minutes.

Della Fox

Looks better than she has at any time during her vaudeville engagements. Her voice is stronger and she seems more like her former self. Miss Fox comes our first in dress but it is when she changes to boy’s costume for her second song that she makes good with the audience, works in two 11 minutes.

Henry Miller

This is Mr. Miller’s first appearance in vaudeville and he is presenting ‘Frederick Lemaitre,’ undoubtedly the greatest sketch ever offered in vaudeville theatre. Mr. Miller’s reputation as a finished actor is so widely known that it is scarcely necessary to say that every word and gesture is all that the stage could ask. He is drawing a big business and receives two and three curtain calls at every performance. If we had more acts of this kind it would be a good thing for vaudeville, full stage 30 minutes.
