24 min. in one. A mighty interesting and versatile entertainer. Has abundance of original material and does everything extremely well, whether it is telling a story, doing melodramatic travesty, speaking a song or rendering burlesque on the piano. Held the interest of the audience throughout with laughter and applause and made a strong finish. Appears in red broadcloth suit and has a very magnetic personality. An act that would go anywhere with credit.
A well known burlesque act that had the audience in screams from start to finish. 26 min. full stage.
“The Night of the Masquerade.” All Dutch acts in this house are judged by the standard set by the Wilson Brothers and German act has to be extraordinarily good to get by here. These men had a tough time of it this afternoon, their talk getting a few scattering laughs. A suggestive parody on “Rings on her Finger” caught the Monday afternoon aggregation of “critics” we got here while their burlesque opera suggestion and Salome dance at the finish went well. The parody was promptly out after the first hearing. Own drop in 1. Time 25 min.
30 minutes in one. Wilson starts off with a burlesque of the McIntosh act, and gets the audience from the start. He burlesques every act in the show, but his stuff aside from that is nearly all new. His costumes are nothing short of a scream. He still keeps up his reputation as one of the very best acts in one that plays this house.
3 men in an improved edition of the old juggling act. Later a numerous cast gives a screaming burlesque of “The Slums of Paris.” Time 25.
Open 2 spec., close in 1. Time 19. Sort of burlesque of theatrical agency in which Miss Kent does some very good work. It’s a little too long drawn out.
12 scenes, all special, except the opening in 1. The depths range back and forth from full stage to 2 throughout the act. 12 chorus girls, 6 Cingalese [sic] men. A gentleman lady-like assistant. This is truly a pretentious offering built about Miss Hoffmann’s rather unusual ability to impersonate famous stars. The most diverting part is the Kellermann burlesque which proved a scream. Miss Hoffmann’s own exclusive, especially imported and personally selected stage crew handles the scenery and accessories in miserable fashion. Miss Hoffmann is magnetic, and although suffering from a cold, injected life and ginger into the feature. Her work seemed to please uniformly.
