This is a novelty act. Comedy, singing, dancing, and some eccentric leg work by the man. As there has been some confusion as to the kind of an act these people do, the thought being in the minds of some of the managers that it is an acrobatic act, I want to say that there is practically no acrobatics in it. The man’s leg work smacks a little contortion. Otherwise it is all as described above – a variety sketch. 12 minutes open in full stage. Can close in one. Very good act.
“The Artist and the Clown.” A new revolving novelty; two men work on aerial apparatus which revolves with electric lights – 6 min. full stage; Went poor at matinee, but went over better at the evening show.
A little singing, bicycle riding and tight wire work. Rather commonplace other than a couple of good tricks by Mr. Dunedin on the wire. 12 minutes, short opening in one; closes full stage.
With Margaret Iving and Felix Adler. 24 people. Special set. 53 minutes f.s. About the most pretentious and attractive girl act we have played this season. Four girls “jumped” the act in New York Saturday night. Still, they got over, and Felix Adler’s comedy, Hazel Moran’s roping, and the skating dance DeMar and Swan, all scored. Held the audience seated to the finish, and closed to a good hand. A thoroughly satisfactory headline feature.
Trained Lions? [sic] Bear, etc. Put through their tricks by a woman. Funny clowns? [sic] Comedy acrobats. Arealists [sic], dogs and ponnies [sic] monkeys musical offering and finishing with Lukins casting act. Work one hour in special set. This is a good money getter. Went big.
16 min. A big flash act with five men and a woman, opening with some comedy talk and a trick mule. They go into an exhibition of fancy roping and finish with a lively bit of broncho-riding. In the closing position they held the audience interested and won a big hand.
“The Quaint Comedians” – in “The Dude and the Scot.” They sing, dance, talk do queer acrobatic stunts in a peculiar way of their own, which amused the audience greatly, and went over big. 12 min. in one.
11 minutes f.s. Special cyclorama. This woman is clever, and her dancing is entirely different from anything we have had here. Although she closed a very fast show, the audience remained in to see her, and she went about as well as any closing act we have had in some time. La Argentina does not talk English very well, and as her music is all marked in Spanish, she had a little difficulty with the orchestra at the opening performance. It might be a good idea for her agent to see that her music cues are translated into English, if she is desirous of giving a good performance in Monday afternoon.
17 minutes in f.s. C.D.F. Short opening in one. Olio drop. Captain Anson is a good card this week, with the World’s Series in town and lots of fans in audience. He tells some stories, shows some motion pictures of baseball stars, past and present, while reciting a poem, and dances a buck-and-wing, while daughters sing. Put over quite a hit.
11 min. Man and woman in sleight-of-hand novelty, the woman acting simply as a helper. Man does some very good sleight-of-hand tricks cigarettes, cards and coin, the first named stunt being exceptionally good. Act did very well.
