SR-Clay modeler. There isn’t a great deal of difference in any of these acts, and this fellow seems to be about as good as the average, in fact, in a sense, there is a little novelty to his act in that he departs from the usual idea of making nothing but faces, and finishes his turn by modeling a piece of statuary. Act can be classed as good. 11 minutes; can work in one or two.
Clay modeller and vaudeville has advanced beyond this act which now belongs in the picture houses. In one.
Italian ice sculptor. He carries a very pretty act representing Arctic scenes and his work consists of sculpturing first a camel, then two birds, and for a finish an American eagle. He works very rapidly and his offering is showman-like in every respect. As he finishes each of the before-named pieces of work he places them in a scenic receptacle lighted from the interior, thus keeping his work in full view of the audience all the time, which is a very good idea. At the finish of each of his feats he was given a substantial round of applause, and the finish of his work was indicative of a genuine success. Special set in 3, 14 minutes.
A clever artist who always fill positions two or three very nicely but this place is a little too stiff for him. In one.
“The Southern Singer”. It is not necessary to go into detail regarding this performer. She is an artist; this is the best and the least that can be said of her. This is her second week. She could remain indefinitely. 10 minutes in 1.
Cartoonist. Very clever with the crayon and some comedy touches make it an attractive act in One. 10 Min.
Lightning Cartoonist. 15 minutes in 1. A good cartoonist whose subjects are popular, well chosen and up to date.
MRR-2. Society caricaturist. Miss Norman is going the same act exactly that she did a few years ago, and while she is unquestionably the cleverest artist in her line somehow the act did not seem to go as well this afternoon as formerly. I attribute it however to the dull audience and anticipate that she will do much better to-night. 15 minutes. Full stage.
In 1. 12 minutes. Does a unique ambidextrous act, drawing cartoons with left and right hand simultaneously. Always manages to get good press notices through former newspaper friends of his father, the cartoonists.
In 1. Time 7. Caracaturist [sic]. Mr Saunders gets away from the beaten path of “speed cartoonists”. His drawings combine fun and cleverness. Well received.
