Ross Naymon’s Birds

One of the best bird acts I have ever seen and took very well. 17 minutes in three.

Duncan’s Scotch Collies

14 min. F.S. This is one of the most novel animal acts we have ever played. The dogs all look as is they were well cared for, enjoyed their work, and did not need the whip to encourage them to do their best. Prof. Duncan looks as if he were a genuine lover of animals. The dogs do what he tells them to do without the slightest hesitation and with the entire absence of fear. Every one of the stunts got a good hand, as they well deserved, as each one is quite novel. The closing stunt with the auto and smash-up is very funny. A ripping animal act for the children.

Apdale’s Animals

F.S. Time 13. Man, woman assistant. Dogs, monkeys, beats. A good animal act with mostly novelty stunts.

Bercaz’s Circus

Ponies look well and work fast but the feature of the act is the unrideable mule, closing a big comedy show with a gale of laughter.

Tops, Topsy and Tops

There are certainly two clever dogs in this offering and their work shows more intelligence than that of the man and woman although they are by no means bad except the woman tries to sing kid songs and does not look the part. Full stage.

Mlle. Vallecita’s Leopards

This is a very STRONG act. I refer both to merit and odor. Joking aside, it is a splendid novelty in any house that has never had it or one like it before. It held the audience better than any closing act we have had in a long time and received bounteous applause at the finish. 12 Min. F.S.

Duncan’s Collies

Has been described by managers in other houses. I consider it among the very best dog acts we ever played. It was a big hit with the audience today and will no doubt prove a drawing card. 14 min. F.S.

St. Gauden

A beautiful black horse doing a nice routine of tricks. Full stage.
