Dancing act. This young fellow is about the best soft show dancer that I know of, and he makes a bit of a novelty in his act with descriptive dancing impersonating different characters, and closes with an imitation of a base ball player dancing while playing ball which always makes a hit. 10 minutes in one.
A young woman doing a spectacular drapery dance, and I agree with the other houses on the Circuit that she is very poor indeed. If I had got her first, I should have closed her or materially reduced he salary, but she was recommended to me very highly, and the act was booked with the idea that it was quite a big novelty. This only emphasizes the fact that all new acts should open in New York first, and I have endeavored to carry out that idea so far as possible, but once in a while circumstances are such that I have to send them elsewhere, and, of course, the people in the other houses are not thoroughly in touch with the circumstances on Monday and don’t know what to do. The act is not positively bad, but simply mediocre. 10 minutes, full stage.
Neat little dancing act. Can work in two.
15 minutes in 1. A rather clever dancing act with three changes of costume, and while it is not sensational or a great applause getter, it proved very interesting.
Replacing Keer & Weston in this spot. 15 minute special in four. Fair dancing act.
13 minute special in three. Danny Duggan is a good dancer. He is a very popular here and will draw business for us this week.
13 minutes, special in three. A very good dancing act. The girls are pleasing to look at with pretty costumes and good dancers.
Woman in white on a revolving globe, using full stage, with a dark back ground and depending on light effects and pictures of national celebreties [sic] thrown from the stereopticon on “Fluttering white wings,” after the style of Onri. The act is a very ordinary sort of an affair and deserves no better place than it gets.
Special in three and a half. 17 minutes. Good dancing act. Miss Waldron does some especially fine toe dancing. Mr. Halprin very good at the piano.
11 minutes, special in two. A very good dancing act with a very fast finish. Closed to a big hand.
