Niblo’s Talklng Birds
Nlblo gets quite a lot out of the
act, considering what little be works with.
Charles Barnold’s Animal Actors
Barnold
has added a screamingly funny feature
in a “hobo” dog, who sits before the
saloon on a miniature beer keg, and enters
the place after each visitor as if hoping
to “panhandle” a drink. It is a funny
trick, and with each repetition builds up
the original laugh. The quick finish and
the inebriated pup won immense applause.
Ed Foster and “Wise Mike”
“Mike” works without visible cues, and goes through his interesting series of tricks without a suspicion of urging by the trainer.
Everest’s Monkey Hippodrome
Monkey routine.
Barnold’s Dogs
an assortment of well-trained animals in an excellent offering, closing with a big laughing hit in an “unridable” mule, well
worked.
The Labakans
capital clown dog and a good routine of comedy acrobatics interspersed with novel tricks by the pup, one of the best canine workers that has been shown, kept the stage most entertainingly occupied.
Grais Baboons
In
looking over the act the first time one is
apt to overlook the baboon that brings
the various apparatus employed to the
trainer, in watching the one that performs
on the wire. Both monks are
genuine animal comedians and get many
legitimate laughs through their intelligent
behavior.
