9 min in one and a half. (Too good an act to open an ordinary show, but on account of its holiday week, am using it in that position here.) A ripping good dancing act and makes a fine opener. Carry their own drop which is effective and dress their act well. Good applause and finished well.
1 man, two women. Series of novelty dances all of which were well presented. People make good appearance and the act made good throughout. Finished strong. Garden in 5. 10 minutes.
29 min. F.S. This is a very beautiful act with only one objection and this is its length. With two or three numbers out, it should make an ideal vaudeville feature. The girls are all pretty and dance exceedingly well, and the stage setting and costuming are all that could be desired. The musical as well is of a high order, and the applause was liberal throughout the entire act, although during the last part, owing to the length, the audience seemed to tire a little even of a good thing. It is a splendid act for all that, and with all the proper condensation, will prove O.K. in this difficult spot.
12 minutes in one. two nice looking boys that do a good novelty dancing act.
Simultaneous dancers. Very good dancing team that works all the time that they are on the stage. Went very good. 10 min. in one.
12 min. full stage. Made good in every particular. Her dance pleased all parts of the house, while her advertising stunt along the streets should draw us some money.
Twenty-four minutes full stage. This act is done by five of the principals of the big act that has played the Williams Theatres for the past eight weeks. They are certainly wonderful dancers, and their offering is an artistic treat to a vaudeville audience. I look for good results with this act from the higher price patronage, and feel that the engagement is going to very satisfactory.
With Sybil Maitland. I had some serious doubts about this act registering today as our people have not been educated up to the barefoot dancing standard. I am pleased to announce that the act went over in very good shape at the matinee, the various dances being well applauded and there being four good curtain calls at the finish. Never have I seen a better looking lot of young girls in any ensemble act. One of them in particular caught the fancy of the audience and nearly everyone was talking about her ravishing as they left the theatre. The dances are modestly performed and at no time is there a display of the human figure that could possibly offend anyone. The act is a bright, vivid, intense, gorgeous chromatic dispersion of light and color that should appeal to the artistic sense of intelligent people. For a first time performance the act went very smoothly but will be much better before the end of the week. Mrs. Alex. Comstock, under whose direction the act was produced, is to be complimented for the splendid manner in which she has staged the production. Own act in 4. Time 27 min.
Well-known dancing act. They do not seem to me to be doing as well as on their previous engagement. Went well with the audience. 10 Min. in One.
Good dances, splendid color effects and a great surprise on the finish. Indeed, a very clever chap. F.S.
