Novelty, musical and dancing act, which is well-known along the line. All right for a No. 2 but hardly strong enough for the No. 3 spot. 10 Min. Open F.S. Close in One.
50 minutes f.s. Palace. Their “Musical Surprise Party” fully justified its name to-day, judging by the manner in which these people were received. We sold out the house at both performances, and the audiences were loath to allow them to leave the stage. Every number was strongly applauded, and their finish was very, very big.
Singing act, man and woman, man plays piano, their opening number was good and got a big hand, rest of act seemed to fall flat, just got a fair hand at finish, 12 minutes C.D.F.
And their “Musical Surprise Party”. The company consists of Nora Bayes, Jack Norworth, Cyril Chadwick, David Stamper Mary Johnson, Ubert Carlton and Albert Anderson. The act really consists of a potpourri of legerdemain, opera, comedy and dancing. It is one of the best acts they ever presented; not a dull moment. Both Bayes and Norworth are generally accorded a great deal of applause on their entrance. They secure the laughs and hold the stage at every performance from fifty-five to sixty-five minutes. Their work is so interesting, the time passes very quickly. As to drawing power, the business jumped skyward, with prospects of a S.R.O. at every performance. Full stage.
10 Min. Full Stage—A little novelty musical and canding [sic] act that opens the show nicely.
Splendid musical act and then the surprise finish pretty near made the audience rise from the seats. Curtain after curtain was the result. F.S.
Three men that play banjo, mandolins, and guitars and do some Rathskeller singing. I would call this a fair act. 12 Min. in One.
Scotland’s Premier Entertainers. This act the best of any of its kind we have ever had. They do a lot of work on a variety of instruments besides the Bag-pipes; also some good solo work and dancing. The act made a hit in fact so much so that I made them fourth on the Bill for afternoon and had to move them down to closing for night show. 16 minutes. Full stage.
The Singer and the Pianist. A very neat singing and piano act which could go further down on the Bill. Went good. 12 minutes. In one.
13 min in one. A very pretty girl with an immense of talent. She sings well, but her violin turn is full of individuality, fire and color. Everyone [sic] of her selections got a strong hand, whether classical or popular. Was compelled to give and enclore, [sic] “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” which she played with admirable expression and sweetness of tone. Would be a hit on any bill where high class music is appreciated.
