Ned Nester & Sweethearts
Eight girls and two men. Act works in full stage special act. Two scenes act runs 22 min. Songs dances and comedy by men. Girls dress very pretty making two or three changes. Act went fair.
Harry Tighe & Sylvia Jason
18 min. This is sort of a “nut” act along the same lines that Tighe did with Babette last season. Nearly all their material is new, including songs, dances and piano numbers. They kept the laughs going in good shape and finished to a very good hand.
Frank Orth and William J. Dooley
In “The Fool Detective.” 20 minutes in one. Special drop. This is a new team, with Orth playing straight to the Sheriff of “The Lawn Party.” They have some original comic songs, a lot of comedy tumbling and dancing by Dooley, piano playing, and got a lot of laughs. A regular vaudeville act, full of ginger. One of the hits of the bill.
Jas. Eadie & Ann Ramsden
Song, dance & comedy skit, 12 minutes, C.D.F. Extremely clever eccentric dancing by the man, highly artistic vocal renditions by the lady, the whole interspersed with a delightfully infectious vein of comedy makes a most successful offering that was received with voluminous applause.
Hawthorne & Inglis
Song, dance and comedy, 2 men, 17 min. (1). The same two ‘nuts’ with the same parcel of ‘nutty’ nonsense as when here before kept the laughs many anf [sic] frequent, and success rewards their efforts on this, their second visitation within two years.
Patricola & Myers
Song, dance & comedy. (2) 13 minutes. Comedy produces gales of laughter, and the eccentric dancing, in which the act abounds, is very funny and the laughs were continuous throughout. NOTE: Two dancing on a three-act bill does not make much variety and there was a very discernible note of ‘sameness.’
Sam and Kitty Morton
17 minutes in one. Street drop. About the same act they gave us three years ago, without a single new line. They have added an of Sousa and the original old-time song and dance they did in 1881, but the gags are all the same and many of the audience apparently knew what was coming the next minute. Just about held the spot, and that is all.
Orth & Dooley
16 min. A new team composed of Orth, formerly of Orth & Mack, and Williams J. Dooley, formerly with “On the School Playgrounds.” Their offering consists of comedy talk, some eccentric dancing by Dooley and original songs sung to Orth’s piano-playing. It is framed up more for comedy purposes than the Mack & Orth act, but did not get over as strong. Finished to a fair amount of applause. However, allowances must be made from the fact that they have an impossible position following forty-one minutes of McIntyre & Heath.
Milton & DeLong Sisters
18 min. F.S., close in one. Same act as presented here before in the same way, and went just as strong with laughter and applause all the way through. Closed with the burlesque organist and preacher and the work in one with the saxophone trio which won immense applause.
“The Bride Shop.”
45 min. This is a B.A. Rolfe’s best tabloid musical comedy with scenery brightened up and all the costumes new, making a big flash. Andrew Tombes, principal comedian kept the laughs going from curtain to curtain. Principals show to splendid advantage, supported by a good looking chorus. Comedy and musical numbers scored. Act made a big hit.
