This new-comer to Detroit rather surprised me by the general excellence of his work. As a monologist he compares very favourably with any other in this line of work. His line of talk is new, clean and bright, and he made a decided hit. 19 in one.
I consider this woman the best singing comedienne in vaudeville. She is not only a swell looker, but she is a swell dresser, and she knows what songs to select for vaudeville and knows how to sing them. If it were not that she is tied to the pantaloons strap of her husband Jack Norworth she would be a star in musical comedy. 10 in one.
Two girls. Foreigners. Acrobats and equilibrists. These girls are without any question the greatest in their line on the vaudeville stage. Their handstands, feats of head to head balancing and ground tumbling are the best ever seen here and are superior to many male acts that have appeared from time to time. 7 min, FS.
This historical character made an immense hit, although his talent as pianist have been overdrawn, his act is enhanced by his automaton-like appearance, his explanatory address and his custom of applauding himself. As a freak and a drawing card he is great. 25 min, FS.
Sager Midgley and Gertie Carlisle in ‘After School.’ Our audience think very well of this act, Midgley is an artist in his particular field and Miss Carlisle is one of the best in vaudeville of her sex. 21 min, FS 3 in one.
Two men and a woman in a bunch of nonsense entitled ‘The Vaudeville Exchange.’ The sketch was built solely for laughing purposes, and it fulfilled its mission. It went very strong here. 23 FS.
These people who have recently entered vaudeville after starring in ‘Mr. Jolly of Jolliet’ didn’t have their act whipped into proper shape, but there is no question but that they will make good. 21 min, FS.
These people, who have recently joined as business partners, made the hit of the bill. While we cannot see much in it there was no mistaking the friendly attitude of the audience. World’s tramp character and Miss Kingston’s singing were the feature. 23 min, open and close in one.
Billed as the Tall Tale Teller. Although this tall, rather good looking young man has but recently entered vaudeville he made quite a hit here with some new and very good stories. He managed to keep the audience in good spirits every moment he held the stage. 15 min in one.
Minstrel-comedian. He made a hot here going better than ever before. His monologue should be purged of a couple of its gags. One is about sales ladies getting $4 a week and paying $5 a week for board. The other about a woman slipping on the banisters and coming downstairs. 21 in one.
