In “The Funniest Act in Vaudeville”, Assisted by Yolande Wallace and Cathrine Hamilton. Sloan is an excellent comedian of the Lewis Hann type. His assistants are mediocre order and the sketch itself is not worth of him. 20 min. F.S.
Monologist. With some good stuff and some rough stuff. His monologue is not what would be called refined, his delivery however is good. 35 min. in one
Equillibrist. Does very good act of hand balancing and head balancing on brilliantly lighted pedestal. 10 mins. F.S
Two men, a woman, two beautiful white horse of the Percheron Breed, a cart and coach horse dog make up this act. Miss Wentworth and one of the men is some remarkable good bareback riding, and the act itself is one of the best acts of this kin in vaudeville. It was recently a feature of Barnum & Bailey’s circus. 14 min, FS.
The dog, Billy, is a beautiful white setter, beautiful as a picture. His eleven different poses are truly remarkable, as he remains as motionless as if carved from stone. The act is not only a novelty but is very pretty and gives the audience a genuine treat. 9 minutes, FS.
This once famous comic opera comedienne re-established herself in the affections of Detroiters. Her voice is better than it has been in the past five years. This is particularly noticeable in her encore song ‘A Pretty Girl, a Summer’s Night.’ Her first song ‘One Little Solider Man,’ it too high for her and she should leave it alone. This week will be distinct triumph for her if she behaves herself. 10 min FS.
Mr. Day, assisted by a man and woman, presented his new playlet ‘The Sheriff’ to an appreciative audience. While it cannot be said that this is Mr. Day’s masterpiece still it is away out of the ordinary and went very strong with the audiences.
Man and woman in a singing and dancing act. This is the best opening act that we have had in several months. Both the signing and dancing are just suited to vaudeville. We would like to have them further down the bill. 23 minutes in one.
This rather homely woman is a singer such as one seldom hears outside of grand opera. She is by far the best dramatic soprano that ever entertained vaudeville. Her singing was a revelation to the audience and even the gallery appeared to be charmed by the grandeur of her voice. 12 in one.
This act was the only disappointing one on the bill. Her offering ‘Winning a Widow,’ is a talky, inane, literary abortion. Miss Martinot’s enunciation was painful, and the man with her did not know his lines. She is one of the most disappointing headliners we have ever played, and I am sure the audience felt stung.
