Monologist. This young man does a very fair talking turn. He has a good singing voice and he ought to exercise it a little more than he does. He had the audience with him from the start to the finish. 18 minutes in 1.
3 shows. 15 min. in one- Yankee dialogue. This act was a frost here to-day. In his position on the bill he could do nothing, and I doubt if he could ‘make good’ in any position with the two-a-day acts. Had to but his work in half for the night show.
“The GERMAN JESTER”. Has a rather poor monologue, but goes fairly well. The recitation with which he closes his act, seems to take better than anything else. 15 minutes in one.
Yankee monologist. I think that at some time this man will be heard from, as yet his work is a little crude and not good enough for the place I was obliged to give him on the bill. Still it may be classed as a good act. 15 min. in one, 2 shows.
Society Caricaturist. With the assistance of a maid Miss Norman dresses the part of four typical society belles from four representative cities of this country; New York, San Francisco, Boston and Chicago. Her monologue is each is bright and active; the distinction marked in its cleverness and unquestionably makes a decided hit here. Her costumes are extremely fetching and the entire act shows careful preparation. Full stage. Time 19.
Parlor in 4. 14 minutes. Artistic monologues, divided into four parts each part telling a separate story but all fitting into each other. Attracts the most cultured people but pleases all classes. Monologue exceedingly artistic. Wore a new gown costing $500 and may be said to have scored a personal triumph. First engagement in vaudeville.
Irish Alderman. Same as ever; has some new stuff in his monologue, but his songs are of an ancient vintage; but it matters little what John has to offer here, it is always accepted with a rush of enthusiasm from pit to dome. In one; time 13 minutes.
Monologist, introducing a little violin playing. Has some good material and went very well. 15 minutes in one.
“The Editor of the Assassinated Press”. A very good single man talking act done in an unusual way with a lot of excellent material which brings laughter galore. A very good act. 15 minutes in two.
Mr. Phillips is by no means bad but somehow just falls short of being a first class monologist. He got over fairly well. 13 minutes in one.
