Fred Warren and Effie Conley
21 minutes (2), special drop. Excellent comedy offering, their material, refreshingly new and original, being productive of plenty of laughter, and the act was hailed with vociferous applause.
Mullen & Coogan
Two men in a rough comedy act. I think of a great many of the audience, like myself, do not care for Mullen & Coogan. The remainder of the people who see them like them exceedingly well, and they make a good low-comedy contrast in a bill of this kind. 18 minutes. In one.
Drawee, Frisko and Hamco
Comedy juggling, 15 minutes, full stage, special set. Recalling the Drawee of fifteen years ago, his exhibition today is a pitiable example of the ravages of time. A decade ago he was a juggler, but today he is only a memory. The remainder of the turn comprises comedy occasioned by a dog chasing the negro assistant all about the stage, which business obtained a few laughs.
The Sharrocks
21 minutes in one. Special drop. These people were moved down here at night, after the failure of Hoey and Lee to hold the audience in at the matinee. An excellent comedy novelty that held the spot and closed strong.
Maglin, Eddy and Roy
Acrobatic comedy, 8 minute, full stage, 3 men. Accomplish the usual routine of tricks, far from a startling or sensational nature, but their rough, boisterous slap-stick comedy is quite amusing, and the laughs follow each either in rapid succession during the entire.
Will Rawls and Ella Von Kaufman
Comedy skit, 18 min, C.D.F. Excellent comedy offering the laughs being continuous from start to finish. If there be any objection to them it must be on the grounds of a return engagement within so short a time, with practically the same material. These things are so noticeable in towns of the proportions of this one, that many remember having seen the act and in many cases in does not tend to help business.
The Mimic Four
Comedy skit, two ladies, two men; 15 min, full stage, C.D.F. Good comedy offering, their talk keeping the laughs frequent throughout the turn. Sing well together, and the act meets with considerable success, which is surprising considering the fact that this is their second appearance in about two years, with the sameact [sic]. Most of our patrons remember having seen them because there is not one single moment of anything new or different from what they had before.
Stone & Hayes
18 min. in one. “Green Goods.” A comedy talking act. Held the laughs going very well all through the early portion but slowed up when they did a well-worn money-changing comedy bit that has been overworked. The best laughing material is used in the first half of the act and they finished to a very light hand.
Lulu McConnell and Grant Simpson
“At Home.” 26 minutes f.s. Library interior. Here is another act that Boston likes. Miss McConnell is one of the most unctuous comediennes we play, and their new vehicle has more laughs than the old one. A riot of laughter from start to finish.
Dr. Carl Herman
“Electrical Wizard.” 20 min. 5’ plants, full stage. His work has been seen here many times in the past, but owing to his novel and original manner of introducing it, the act leagues in advance of all its predecessors. The comedy occasioned by the utilization of a number of ‘plants’ is hilarious in the extreme, and the act attacks one’s risibilites [sic] in a most vigorous manner.
