NH 3. Irish comedians and dancers. These two men were given a pretty strong place on the bill this week, but they managed to hold their own and made good in great shape. They have got a great collection of old “gags”, but they all seemed to go nevertheless. 16 minutes, in one.
KR 3. Irish comedians and dancers. Two men. I had to give them a pretty strong place on the bill in order to break sets, but so far as this house is concerned, they justified it fully, for they held their attention and amused them every moment they were on. It is an act, however, that should not be put on much later than 2 or 8 at night. 20 minutes, in one.
2 shows, 22 min. full stage—the same comedy singing and dancing act they have been doing for a couple of seasons. They were never very strong here, and did not particularly impress this afternoon’s audience, but scored the best with their dancing finish. They will not stand for a later place than 2 and 8 o’clock in our bills.
3 shows, 13 min. in 1. German dialect comedians, parody singers and wooden shoe dancers. From a 3-a-day standpoint, good act. Made a hit in this place
15 mins. in one. German comedians and wooden show dancers; have some talk that is clever in spots, and received many laughs. Good three-a-day act
KR 3. In an eccentric, comedy, and dancing act. They have been over the circuit so recently that comment on their ability is unnecessary. The principal feature of the act is Milt Wood dancing which I personally think is quite close to John Ford. 15 minutes, open in 2 and close in 1.
A man and woman in an act which consists principally of singing and dancing. The woman plays a concertina, mandolin, and piano in an unobjectionable manner, and the man is quite a good eccentric dancer. It is a good 3 show a day turn, 16 minutes, full stage; can close in one if necessary.
Man and woman, the woman plays indifferently on several instruments and their singing and comedy is only fair. The man however does some very good eccentric dancing and they manage to leave the stage to strong applause. The act should be rated as very good from a three a day standpoint. 18 min, open in 2, short close in 1. 3 shows.
This act was something of a disappointment. A singing and dancing act from them would be much more satisfactory. Ford is a lamentable failure as a comedian and couldn’t get away with jokes at all. They manage to hold their own with their dancing which is of course, as good as anybody could give. 21 min, open in three close in one, 2 shows.
