Ernest Evans and his six girls, with musical and dancing. “Wedding Bells,” were the topliners running No. 7, two positions after the Whipple Houston act. Evans fairly witted and so did the girl dancer who is his chief support. The lass is a sprightly stepper, and it is her pep that stands for much in the turn. The sample frock used by her is the solo number looks a bit passé. She looks like a youngster and ought to develop into a corking dancer. The songstress of the act also attracted attention doing best with “Someone is Waiting.”
Joseph M. Norcross the oldest living minstrel basso in active service assisted by his wife, Nellie, slammed over a sympathetic appeal that cresendoed [sic] into waves of applause at the cake walk finish. The appeal of the sweet motherly looking Nellie and her old partner is sure fire in any house.
Three Bohemians disclosed two pretty Italian girls and their father with accordions and guitar. The trio uncorked enough verve and enthusiasm to exit to return.
Wallace, Grace and Ben, two men and a very pretty mime, with an operatic voice, did a Babe Ruth, especially Grace. She is a very charming girl with an abundance of personality and she has a great soprano voice. The two men play instruments, one a fiddle and the other a xylophone.
17 min. “Types of Women.” Registered a good sized hit with a variety of character numbers. Makes several changes of costume and is assisted by Jim Rule at the piano. Songs were well liked and she finished to a warm hand.
21 min. They have a lot of good songs and make good use of them. The clever piano-playing by the girl is a big help to the man who also works in some comedy chatter with his songs. They finished strong.
19 min. This high-class musical offering has played here several times and always made good. Did as well as usual on this visit.
15 min. in 1. This man appears in civilian clothes at the piano; sings a few songs, plays a couple of piano solos and tell a story or two. Went fair.
Musical Novelty; Makes up straight; plays bells and xylophone; 10 min. in two; went good.
32 min. More varied than anything he has shown here in the past, this remarkable dancer and his troupe of artists, including an excellent orchestra, which he carries, scored a tremendous applause hit. Several of the numbers scored individually. The dancing is of the highest class, beautifully executed and the act in every way ranks supreme in this class of entertainment.
