Paul and Walter La Varre in “An Evening at Home” closed and held everyone in until after the closing trick. They appear in evening dress and do accomplished hand to hand feats with much ease. After their closing trick, which consisted of the under man bending backwards over the top of a chair and lifts his partner up hand to hand, they sit down at a table to play cards, the curtain descends slowly, having just played eight weeks at Edelweiss Gardens.
11 Mins.; Two (Special Set). The Six Navigators are an acrobatic turn that has grown familiar to vaudeville under another name, according to report. In the renaming of the act, the sextet has adopted a style of dressing, with a special setting, that takes it away from the fleshing-clad athletes who tumble in groups. This company is dressed as sailors on a ship scene. They do some fast acrobatics, with many good tricks from a springboard, the best of these being a double somersault off the board of a two high. The act closed the Fifth Avenue bill. It is dressed so differently from what the people have grown accustomed to or expect, that the act should be used in the centre of a small time bill, to get full value. It will do very well on the big time or the small big time, and would make a nice opening number for any big time program.
7 Mins.; Full Stage. Majories is presenting a neat little opening wire act that will serve to open almost any small time show.
14 Mins.; Four. Neat idea the young men have in using the old Roman gladiatorial ring background and gladiatorial raiment to show off their hand-to-hand balancing wares. The two chaps have an excellent routine, one similar to previous exhibitions by other teams on the big time, but effectively done. The Gladiators, however, have several lifts that are different and on these got big applause.
11 Mins.; Full Stage. Teddy, with the aid of a woman assistant, has a novelty balancing act that serves nicely for the opening spot on a small time bill.
6 Mins.; Full Stage. Six men and two women form this acrobatic group. The “family” is dressed in the familiar garb of foreign nomads. They carry a gypsy camp drop and open with the women doing a tambourine dance. Pyramids, shoulder-to-shoulder leaps and somersaults, with groundwork the piece de resistance, are performed by the men. One of the women also puts in some acrobatic turns. The act has some flashy arabics, spirals and springboard (trampoline effect) somersault revolutions that are well done. The men are inclined to take to take their time with the work. Good act of its kind and a splendid closer for the pop houses.

12 Mins.; Full Stage. The act has many novel features and is one that affords much diversion. The paraphernalia used is out of the ordinary and the work of the five people is neat, natty and finished. They stand on their heads and dance against platforms. The act is startling in many respects.
