Papinta
Better than Loie Fuller. Her fire and snow dance as well as her flower dance was pleasing, particularly to lady portion of the audience. She gives all that has been advertised and is a very good card. 14 min, FS.
Clayton White and Marie Stuart Company
One man and two women, all clever in a clever comedy entitled ‘Paris.’ There is one spot in this comedy that savors of burlesque house business. It is the talk between the saloon keeping politician and Miss Stuart. It just passed muster here. 30 min, FS.
Harry Gilfoil
Debut in vaudeville. He appeared in the character of ‘Baron Sands,’ a man 80 years old, an old rounder, giddy, quaint and altogether enjoyable. He also imitates the bark, the growl, the cry, and the strange sounds he heard generally at Barnum’s circus. His character acting was great and his imitation were wonderful. He made good every minute he held the stage. 14 min, FS, 3 in one.
Hal Davis, Inez Macauley & Co.
Presenting Edmund Day’s ‘Pals.’ The sketch is very exciting at the close showing a personal encounter between the pals which results in the breaking of many glass globes in a chandelier, the breaking of a number of jardiniers [sic], the destruction of the staircase, etc. 23 min, FS.
Rosario Guerrero
In ‘The Rose and the Dagger.’ This is a pantomime act that takes exceptionally well with the audience in the lower part of house. The woman, who was brought to this country by Florenz Ziegfeld for the Red Feather, is remarkably handsome, dresses gorgeously and dances divinely. She is assisted by M. Phillips Dufaure, a French pantomime actor of considerable strength. 13 min, FS.
Filson & Errol
Man and woman in a straight sketch ‘A Daughter of Bacchus.’ Both appear in a drunken scene which ends with a moral. The act may please most audiences but here it is not looked upon as the strongest in the in the business. 24 min, FS.
Felix & Barry
George Felix & Lydia Barry in a comedy singing and acrobatic act called ‘The Doings of Johnnie Jones.’ Felix appears in his old character and Barry sings a sentimental ballad as old as Chauncey Depew. They were one of the hits of the bill here. 28 min, FS.
Burton & Brooks
Two men in sketch called ‘A Can of Humor.’ Burton represents a millionaire and Brooks a lordling [sic] in search of an American heiress. The work is dialogue in the nature of repartee in which the Britisher [sic] gets the worst of it. Some of the co-called gags are new. It went well here. 18 min, FS, 6 min in one.
Robert Hilliard & Co
In ‘No. 973.’ This playlet adopted from ‘Editha’s Burglar’ gives Mr. Hilliard and company abundant opportunity for the display of their unquestioned ability. It is, perhaps, the strongest sketch in vaudeville. 23 min, FS.
Chas Prelle
With his talking dogs. Prelle is a ventriloquist, and the dogs are made up with papier-mâché heads to represent dummies. Some of the dogs represent small ponies. The dummy heads have movable jaws which gives them the appearance of talking. It is quite a novelty and is going very well here. 12 min, full stage.
