Two men, singing, and talking act, entitled ‘Casey’s Visit.’ The vocalist can’t sing, and the comedian has a queer idea of comedy. It’s a ‘refined’ act, because they wear opera crush hats and tuxedo coats. The laughing song the comedian sings is the only good thing in the act. Cut out: ‘Wouldn’t give a damn $2,000,000.’ ‘Hell gate’ and ‘Cold feet’ stories. 15 mins in one.
Two men in a singing and comedy act, and a very strong one. This is Jack Marshall that used to have Marshall’s Quintet, and the Lane is Arthur Yule for erly [sic] of the Cosmopolitan Trio, and they have put together a very good act in which Marshall does some very good comedy and Lane does hiw [his][sic] well-known imitations and they do some singing that is first-class. 20 minutes; opens full stage, closes in one.
Street in one. Two shows. Fourteen minutes. Hebrew impersonator and parody singer. His monologue does not amount to much. His parodies are fair. He has no legal right to obtain that salary, and there is no good reason why he should not work three shows.
3 shows, 13 min. in 1. Hebrew parody singer, opening with a bit of burlesque bagpipe playing. All right from a 3-per-day standpoint, although our audiences do not appreciate that sort of comedy, as the East Side type of Hebrew is unknown to them.
This singing comedienne went better than ever before. He dialect is excellent and she appears to have lost considerable of the freshness that characterized her initial appearance here. She receives two and three curtain calls. 11 in one.
In ‘Christmas on Blackwell Island.’ 18 minutes. This act is going very big. They are compelled to respond to several encores at the close of every act. I consider the singing fully as good as their act of last season and it goes much better with the audience since they cut out the sac-religious parts.
2 shows, 23 min, full stage. In their comedy and musical sketch, ‘Prof Schmaltz’s Academy,’ in which they scored a great hit the last time they were here. Today was no exception, the comedy getting lots of laughs, Miss TenBrooke being encored for singing and Lambert compelled to repeat everything he played on the piano or violin. For Boston this is a great act.
Man and woman in a comedy, entitled ‘The Policeman and the Maid.’ They introduce singing and dancing specialties. The woman is rather attractive, and has a pretty fair voice. The man is a good dancer. The act contains some laughs and is all right for an early place. 12 minutes.
A singing comedienne, magnetic, good repertoire of songs and pet with decided success. Usually works in one
