Ben Johnson
A very clever act but has not yet gotten in touch with the material required for vaudeville. Needs more comedy but at that a great improvement over the average vaudeville monologist. In one.
Charles Miller
16 minutes in one. Mr. Miller is a local favorite in stock companies, who will probably draw us some money. But it won’t be on account of his monologue.
Paul Barnes
13 minutes in one. Barnes has a lot of English stuff. This afternoon it did not go very well. In fact, he was a little of a disappointment. To-night when he got back to his old stuff he went good.
Lew Hawkins
15 minutes in one. Hawkins tried some new stuff this afternoon, dealing with Reno and divorce. It did not go very well. To-night he cut out most of it, got on a different tack, and got laughs and hands all through.
Ben Welch
(23 mins.) One of the biggest laughing hits we have had for sometime and it ought to be a sure-fire on any bill. The fact of Welch’s blindness does not appear to effect the act in any way and he got just as many laughs with is monologue as ever. He was given fine assistance by Frank T. Murphy.
Lew Dockstader
(20 mins.) Working with a lot of new material he seemed rather slow but his new monologue is funny, deals with present conditions and he got plenty of laughs, finishing to strong.
Ben Welch
18 min. in one. Well known on the circuit, and delivered his familiar line of amusing dialect material. Got laughter and applause throughout. Always a strong winner here.
Jack Hazzard
15 minutes in one. Hazzard is telling most of his old stories, but as usual it is the way he tells them that gets him by in great shape.
Tom Waters
16 min, in one. Advance applause. Tom is a favorite, being a Pennsylvania born. A versatile act, and full of good character.
Senator Murphy
Political monologist who got many laughs. A very good act. 13 min. in one.
