Bayonne Whipple & Walter Huston
In their latest offering “SHOES” — (three people) — A Clever Combination of Originality — this act is full of fun and laughter, which seemed to amuse the audience immense; 18 min. full stage; went over big.
Wilbur Held
Works in one 11 Min. Comedy Stories paradies and recitation. Went Very Good.
Kimberly & Arnold
19 min. A very good comedy skit by a man and woman, the latter doing the comedy with splendid results. They have a lot of good material, some of which was used in their former of fering, but they have a new idea for opening and the act was a big applause hit.
Swan & Mack
Blackface comediane. While these men secured many laughs; – mostly through jokes told here before by Swor & Avey, whose act they have about half; I consider the act over-paid by at last $100. 13 minutes in one.
Business is Business
A Comedy Offering by Fisher Hawley Co. three men one woman. A Very good offering but spoiled by the act on before it as they do the Hebrew as well. Plenty of Laughs but nothing at finish.
Lane and Harper
Lane and Harper picked up this tempo and easily made up the sag of a two-minute stagewalk while their stuff in “two” was hastily set. By the time Miss Harper got to showing 87 per cent of her superb physique over and under a thimbleful of clothes, and Lane had sent in “Profiteering Blues” to hit scarcely to be expected of this aged baby at this late day, this spanking pair was on the way to a show-stopper, broken by a light encore without orchestra that was delicious. In a review of this pair recently at a smaller house, Variety raid “Big time for sure.” They got there quickly and made good with a clang.
Ethel Davis
Ethel Davis had a sneezing number in the act this week that wasn’t in the routine offered at the 23rdStreet a week ago. It is a corking comedy number, and with her “strike” number, stood out as the best two things of the act.
Santos & Hayes
15 min. in 1. This is the first appearance here of these two girls and they certainly received a lot of laughs making one of the hits of the show.
The Four Boises
8 min. f.s.. This team consists of three men and 1 woman doing some very clever casting with quite a little comedy. Made a very good closing act.
Robert Emmet Keane
Robert Emmet Keane in next to closing had it easy, because the apathetic house had been aroused from its somnolence and was on the alert for the speedy line of chatter and stories be peddled. Keane’s act is a funny one for any bill in any top spot, and the fact that he draws on his old routine of war stories and gets away with it big is conclusive proof of his ability.
