Type: Comedy - Ethnic

Raymond and Caverly

The act was eleven minutes long. Raymond and Caverly perform a german act. The setting is a row of shop windows with humorous signs. Al Raymond plays a policeman and Caverly plays a butcher. They talk and do an operatic bit for the finish.

Sam Golden

The act was eight minutes long. Golden appears as a Hebrew character but sings Irish songs to open his act. He then does an Italian characterization and sings a “Christopher Columbus” song made famous by Willie Weston.

Golden and Collins

The act was eleven minutes long. Of these “Hebrew Comedians”, one man is a straight and the other handles the comedy. They open with a parody of “Ragtime Violin” and do a funny bit where the comedian fiddles with some peanuts while the other asks to address the audience, uninterrupted.

George Moore

The act was seven minutes long. George Moore formerly assisted Isabel D’Armond and Laura Guerite and acted as a “Johnny.” He claims to be a German character, but his makeup is not German, nor does he perform any German numbers. Although he is known as a clever dancer, he only dances briefly.

Chretienne and Louisette

The act ran for twenty-two minutes on the full stage. The act entitled “Klaus and Trins” opens with a film which shows the couple performing on the street in their native Holland. Some Americans see them and offer them a place on the vaudeville stage. A chase from Holland to New York ensues and when the film ends the couple runs onstage. The woman performs as Italian, French, Spanish, and English girls and the man conducts the orchestra in the pit. The pair finish with a wooden shoe dance. The costumes and makeup are well done.

Adams and Guhl

The men dress neatly and for the next part keep away from the rougher sort of knockabout comedy.

Jock Whitford

His opening number is entirely unsuited to American vaudeville use, but Whitford helped it out with a good eccentric dance. There is more of this sort of dancing later.
