(18 mins.) The new arrangement of her act supplies her with more comedy than anything she has done, and it should develop into the best vehicle she has used. Her songs, as usual, are new and original. And she deserves this credit for keeping out of the class of singers who use a lot of public numbers. She proved an excellent next to closing act following the thirsty minutes of talk by Suratt.
(13 mins.) Made a very fair impression, although the spot appeared just a little bit too hard for him. He has a new line of material, which he handles very well and a couple of songs help him considerably. Closed to a fair hand.
(26 mins.) In the next to closing spot these boys did only fairly well Monday afternoon, but changed places with Olcott and Mary Ann in the evening and were a big laughing hit. It is an oddity in the comedy and singing class that will not only please but create talk. They go better each show. Closed big.
(13 mins.) First time we have played him in years and he was a big laughing hit, one of the big hits of the bill. Comedy songs went over fine and he closed very strong with eccentric dancing.
(25 mins.) This is still one of the big laughing hits we know of and with the two new members, the singing is even better than anything the Avon Four have ever had. As a result the act seemed to grow bigger than ever and in the next to closing spot held the spot solid and fairly rooked them with applause and laughs.
Two women and two men. In one, special drop, 15 minutes. Rube comedy singing and dancing and talking avt [sic]. Owing to the late arrival of their baggage, they did the show with out it in the afternoon, and went fair.
Comedy, singing & talking skit, 17 minutes (1). Good act, with plenty of new and original material; some excellent impersonations by the lady, and some very infectious comedy by the man. One of the best teams ever seen here, and particularity well-received.
21 min. The little English comedienne has a company of three, two men and a woman with her in her offering called ‘La Petite Revuette.’ It is a new idea for introducing character bits which Miss Claude helped to make famous in ‘The Belle of New York’ and ‘Chinese Honeymoon.’ Several song numbers and bits of dancing are introduced during the action of the piece. William Smythe in Miss Claude’s principal support, and the two secure excellent results from their songs. Act scored very well here.
Comedy singing quartette, 18 minutes (1) Special drop. 4 men. Very good act; they sing exceptionally well, and the comedy is a riot of laughter. A huge success at every performance, begin recalled most enthusiastically. So long a time has elapsed since we have had a really good quartette, that our following is rapturous over the appearance of this sterling aggregation of vocalists.
22 min. With Eddie Leonard working in white face this time, his act went over as big as ever. In fact, he scored one of the biggest hits he has ever made in this house. Sang some new songs, did soft-shoe dancing and then finished up with a couple of his old numbers as an encore and left the audience applauding and crying for more, being forced to respond after several minutes of continuous applause with a neat, little speech of thanks.
