Mattie Lockett
Young girl. Child impersonator. Very pleasing personality. Imitations, with little dancing. Imitations very well received. Dancing fair. Splendid act for the three show a day section. Drop in one. Three shows. Thirteen minutes.
Edwin Stevens
In ‘A Night Out.’ He was fairly well received here yesterday afternoon and night, but did not go as well as expected. It wouldn’t hurt if he got some new stories, those that he told here yesterday are old chestnuts. He asked for full stage, but could work in 2; finished 6 minutes in one.
Edwin Stevens
This excellent and actor who has just closed as leading man with Henrietta Crossman went very strong with his monologue. He held the full stage 17 minutes and closed in one 10 minutes which I consider is too long for any monologue turn.
Elsie Janis
This clever little mimic, is one of the hits of the show, her imitations, of Vesta Tilley, Anna Held, Eddie Foy, and Dan Daley are very clever. All in one. 21 min.
Sullivan and Weston
2 shows, 17 min. open in 3, close in 1. The comedian of this team makes up in imitation of Dan McAvoy and mimics the latter’s mannerisms and voices closely. This infused some life into this part of the bill but would not stand for a lower place.
May Evans
Drop in one, 9 minutes. A whistling soloist and imitator, well known by many trips over the circuit. Her work has not lost what value it previously had. In fact I may say she seems better able to amuse and please her audience and closed to decent applause. 3 shows.
Eva Mudge
Own set. Full stage, 15 minutes. Her familiar imitations and character changes, which did not seem to be able to arouse our audience to-day. However, a number of them were well received and her singing of a [illegible, “conn”?] song at the close, earned her a recall. 3 minutes in one. 2 shows.
Robert Fulgora
Own set. 18 minutes. In his impersonations and rapid changes. The changes of course are well done as is well known. The act is pretentious for him and the greater part of it got by nicely and was quite well received. His description of the suburban race at the close, introducing 3 card-board horses, that look nothing like horses evoked laughter from the gallery, and surely does not add anything to his act. The act may be called good, and very good if he gets 3 images that look like horses. 2 shows.
Julius Tannen
This act was described by Boston last week and to my mind the young man is very clever. He didn’t seem to reach the crowd this afternoon due, I think, to the fact, that the audience are not familiar with characters he impersonates. 12 min, in one, 2 shows.
Alice Lewis
In character changes and impersonations. This artist as formerly known as ‘Baby Lewis,’ and while she is quite clever in her way, I doubt if she will ever be strong enough to get beyond the three-show section, as least in the specialty she is doing at present. It is all right at the opening of the bill but that is about al. 10 min in one.
