In “Home Again.” 43 minutes f.s. Two special sets. 15 people. It has been some time since we played this act, brightened up with the new songs and comedy bits. Introduces singing, dancing, harp and piano solos and good rough comedy. Duplicated their previous hit, made a satisfactory closing feature.
In “A Regular Army Man.” 31 minutes f.s. Special set. Twelve people. This is a good act. Looks big, and contains several musical numbers, All get over. Mr. Morely’s comedy got plenty of laughs. The singing of male chorus is featured. An excellent miniature musical comedy.
“The Models Abroad.” 47 min. A new tabloid musical comedy in three scenes and a company of fourteen. A sort of sequel to “The Red Heads” in which Mr. Carson appeared last season. It contains some good musical numbers and plenty of action. A display of gowns on the models is a big feature. In the closing position of a late show, the act went over in good shape although it can hardly be said to be as good as its predecessor.
2nd appearance. Work in full stage 25 min. Comedy offering with song and dance. Miss Tommy Allen who does the comedy very clever. Poor singers. Plenty of laughs through act. But only a fair hand at Finish.
Present “The Diamond Palace.” A comedy offering before a special drop comedy talk songs and a little musical offering accordians [sic] saxaphone [sic] and organ. Went very good.
A miniature musical comedy with seven people – six girls and a man – special scenery – comedy with singing and dancing numbers; scene in exterior of a girl’s school. 25 min. full stage; went over big.
17 min. Man and woman in a very pleasing piano act, the woman officiating at the piano and helping her partner with the songs. He injects a lot of comedy talk which gets some laughs. All of their numbers were new here and the act got over in good shape.
In an act styled “Mirthful and Harmonious Comedians” four men; straight; sing comedy and harmony songs. Their singing was fair; comedy, rotten; their dress was rather shabby – no style about them whatever. 10 min in street; went fair.
21 min. with a mixture of songs, dances and some comedy, finishing with a burlesque imitation of Harry Pilcer & Gaby Deslys, they got over in good shape. Their dances are very well done and a feature of the offering is an elaborate display of gowns. Closed to a good hand.
Annoyed at the Piano by Freddie Clinton. 23 minutes in one. Olio drop. Morrisey makes his entrance as a violinist, and after some “sour” harmony has been extracted from the instrument, he proceeds to put over a singing and comedy turn with imitations, that was a hit as both performances Monday. We cut out nearly all of his jokes after the matinee. He proved he did not need this blue material by going better at night than he did in the afternoon.
