De Winter & Rose
9 min. f.s., spl. Boy and girl doing a very nice routine of semi-classical dances. Went good.
Moon & Morris
10 min. These boys have always made good in this house and did so on this visit. Their dancing is novel, well done and they finished strong.
Bronner’s Dream Fantasies
This is a very beautiful act. The man and both girls are exceptional dancers. Held the audiences very well closing the show.
Lloyd & Wells
These boys produce a dancing act in a novel manner opening up as a couple of hoboes closing in dress suits. Went over pretty well in this spot. 9. Min. in. 1.
Hill and Fair
[New Act] Piano and dances, 14 mins, full (special). Two girls presenting a dance routine in a set of special drapes, with Hal Smith at the piano and offering the song numbers necessary to the introduction of each dance. The idea is a neat one and rather well worked out. With a little more speed the girl will be ready for the big time in an early spot. The piano player in the weak spot of the act at present; he fails to get his material over at any stage of the act. They open with a double; this is followed by a single with toe dancing, a fox trot double, and then an imitation of Eddie Leonard by one of the girls; a piano specialty by Smith, and a jazz double by the girls at close. The act is pretty and the girls work well together. There are three sets of costumes for the double and two for the singles.
Eddie Leonard
The hit of the performance came with the advent of Eddie Leonard just before the interval. Leonard held stage for almost half an hour, did two encore number, made a little speech, and still the audience remained seated and asked for more. Finally “Roly Boly Eyes,” as a third encore, let the minstrel favorite get away. That dancing boy Stewart and Leonard has in his act and the showmanship which the star displays in presenting him is going to make vaudeville audiences sit up and take notice. The young man is a phenom as a stepper, and the routines that he showed won the house for him.
Eduardo and Elisa Casino
11 Mins.; Full Stage. Two young Spanish dancers, probably the most authentic of any of the so-called Spanish performers. These two are brother and sister, the former a dancer unexcelled by any steppers who do this type of dancing. His partner is rather heavy but is improving, so that now she gets her share of the applause. The boy does some twirling of the feet that is bound to go over. The couple open with “Malaguena and Bollero,” a very much Spanish affair in which. The click of the castanets figures largely. The girl follows with “El Garotin,” another of this style in which she does considerable bending and squirming. They use “La Cucipanda” next, closing with a whirlwind trot. This last is the only American movement in the act and they handle it capably. These young people should be working steadily, as the boys is a natural dancer and his sister has possibilities.
Beattie and Blome
[New act] Dance, 10 mins; three. A couple in a straight dance routine, opening with a waltz, he in velvet suit, she in ballet costume. The waltz is variegated with a little toe-stepping on her part which as develops proves to be her forte.
A solo by each follows, with the man in the sateen blouse and the velvets doing a whirling Russian number, and the woman a toe one-step. For a finish, following a short double dance number, he whirls her on his shoulder to the extent of a quartet of curtains. Good pop house team for either end.
Virginia Fissinger
Virginia Fissinger, with her dancing partner another lad at the piano, showed some more stepping, and put it over, although the “hoofing” of the previous turn didn’t help them any. Miss Fissinger has a pleasing appearance and showed enough ability with her feet not to let the boy run away with all the honors, though he pulled a few she found hard to follow. Five distinct numbers, after going into full stage, spaced before and after a short selection on the keys that in the closing spot held the house intact and was good for four or five curtains.
Mable and Dora Ford
The finish of the bill was furnished by Mable and Dora Ford in their “Frolics of 1920,” and they managed to hold the house seated with their first three numbers, but as it was then 10 after 11 the house started drifting, but the girls with their final stepping held the greater part of them standing at the back for the finish of the act.
