Milt Collins
Political monologist. He got considerable in the way of laughs, but I am afraid that some of his material is dangerous politically. If one started to cut it, the whole act might be eliminated. 12 min. in one.
Tommy Gordon
(14 mins.) This boy did very well. He is a sort of “nut” comedy monologist. Has a good routine of stuff and closed to a big hand.
Stuart Barnes
25 minutes in 1. Doing his regular monologue, with comparatively little new stuff, going as big as ever.
Charles Kenna
18 min. one. Advance applause. Well known here and well liked. Act is full of original humor and keeps the audience in constant laughter with his clever curbstone remarks. A good many local hits which took well. Strong close. Good act, a strong spot.
“Snapper” Garrison
Monologue, 16 minutes in 1. On account of the many requests from race horse men, we put on this jockey. He certainly drew capacity business and pleased with his stories of funny experiences on the race track. We were agreeably surprised as he handled his material splendidly.
Al Jolson
One of the best comedians we ever played and made a hit. In one.
Nat Carr
Character comedian, went very big, one of the hits of the bill. 20 min. in one and a half.
Mary Norman
Presenting “Some Women I Have Met.” Miss Norman was a decided hit all the way through, and her various take-offs on the feminine sex were received with shouts of laughter and unstinted applause. Would term her a very decided hit. 11 minutes, palace in 2.
Leo Donnelly
18 min. in one. Good advance hand. Local favorite here. Introduced some new material. Held the audience all the way through. Has fulfilled the predictions of two years ago, and is now one of the best monologue men in the business. Closed with “Gungs Din.” Cut reference to vaccination story.
Minnie St. Claire
Character comedienne who was a distinct and unqualified hit all the way through. The act went big and she finished strong. 25 minutes, olio in one.
