with which he conducts his juggling. This went over good. 15 min. full stage.
8 min. f.s. Two men in a very good novelty juggling act. Handled with plenty of speed. Mae good opening.
Young is a very good juggler and presents his work in a showmanlike manner. The company consists of a young girl who hands him the objects. 8 minutes F.S.
Of the five acts that appeared in the opening section four came under the New Acts classification, the exceptions being George W. Moore, who opened the bill with a routine of juggling, which included a flock of misses. He did, however, manage to get some comedy out of the mishaps through facial expressions.
Tuscano Brothers, following the Selznick Topical Weekly, gave the show a classy send-off with their battle-axe juggling. There’s a real thrill in the catching and tossing of those double-edged Roman war implements. The Tuscanos dress the act like showmen and work with an easy, sure methods that betokens complete mastery of their difficult line of work.
Lawrence Brothers and Thelma were the first of the vaudeville acts to appear, the men juggled three clubs most of the time, and the lazy manner in which one of the men takes from the other got a few laughs. Thelma indulges in talk which is as infectious as her delivery. She does a sailor’s hornpipe well and assists the men with some ordinary hat juggling. Open only fair.
The last show opened with Lucy Gilette, in full stage, in which this “husky” miss does a real heavy juggling routine. She is ably assisted by a man who fumbles everything he takes from her. A very good act for opening one.
The show is opened by Willie Hale and Brother, jugglers, but more than jugglers. Whether it is Willie Hale or the brother is not know, but the taller of the team has a personality worthy of a musical comedy hero. His showmanship and pleasing smile makes the act deserving of a spot. The closing trick of the other chap on a globe got them off with five bows.
The Van Cellos consists of a man is dress suit doing all sorts of foot juggling while lying on his back on a table while a female assistant hands him the various props and makes a series of costume changes, all of which are gorgeous. The act is further enhanced by an attractive cyclorama drop. The man’s work is clean cut and the presentment breathes class.
Johnson, Baker and Johnson, hat jugglers, closed and brought about the near miracle of holding even the standees in and putting a period to the show with a wallop seldom duplicated in the final frame at the Palace. Attendance capacity.
