Moss and Frye

The act was fifteen minutes long. This comedy team has an eccentric and a straight. The straight does his job well and makes the comedian very funny. The act is modeled on “the old Williams and Walker sidewalk conversation turn”.

Wilson and Doyle

The act was sixteen minutes long. Two men, one a “straight” and the other a “moke”, sing and do some crossfire talk. “The straight does a George Primrose dance that gets over.”

Uno Bradley

The act was fourteen minutes long. Uno Bradley is a singing monologist who appears in blackface. “He has a habit of waiting for people to laugh after telling a ‘gag’.”

Daly’s Minstrel Five

The act was twenty-four minutes long on the full stage. This quintet sings and dances in blackface. Two comedians do the talking and the trio in the middle sings harmonies. They finish with a lively dance and ‘rag’ number.

Eli Dawson

The act was eighteen minutes long. Dawson performs a comedic monologue in blackface without the ever-present “rag” number which usually drags down acts of this type. He runs through his routine quickly.

Arthur Deming

The act was thirteen minutes long. Deming performs a section of Cliff Gordon’s monologue in blackface.

Jack Laurence

The act was ten minutes long. Laurence delivers a poor imitation of Bert William’s work. He performs songs and monologues. The Subway monologue was just as dull as a subway commute.

The Three Leightons

The sketch entitled “A One Night Stand in Minstrelsy” was twenty-one minutes long. The act revolves around a colored porter who joins a minstrel troupe. The Leighton trio assumes their usual characters [which are not explicitly mentioned]. The stage is transformed into a railroad tank station, with a section of the troupe’s private car showing.
