16 minutes in one. Olio drop. A new act and a good one. This man works in evening dress with a Charlie Chaplin walk. He sings, whistles, tells stories, dances a bit, and plays the accordion. Is a clever entertainer and put over a good-sized hit.
16 min. He is in vaudeville after several seasons as principal comedian and producer of Ziegfeld’s “Follies” and is using as his vehicle the Subway scene from last year’s show. Errol makes his pantomime drunk a very funny bit but the act is light-waisted [sic]in the support given the comedian and while it created some laughter in spots, it got over with only fair results. An acrobatic number used as a finish earned a good hand. Errol never could repeat in this house unless he had something new.
14 min. This is the celebrated smoke-painter and whistler who made a tour of American vaudeville several years ago. He is doing practically the same act, drawing pictures in smoke and finishing with a comedy bit of whistling. A very clever novelty act which held close attention and won a liberal amount of applause.
15 min. He is still using a burlesque on moving pictures for a finish, but opens with some comedy songs and a bit of lively chatter which he handles with good effect. Did very well with the opening part of his act, but the moving picture finish got him very little. Not only is the novelty of the latter bit gone, but the picture is bad.
12 min. A troupe of very well trained animals in a pantomime play representing a military incident in the Alps. The act is staged with special scenery and the dogs go through their work with no apparent urging, the trainer not appearing on the stage until the curtain. There is enough comedy injected to get plenty of big laughs and the act finished to a warm hand. A very good novelty.
Full stage special set. Open with black art which is very good. Club juggling and comedy boxing by two midgets and a little burlesque dancing. Act went very well.
“The Mental Marvel.” Presents “Concentration.” One man two woman [sic]. Mind reading act. Woman do the mind reading while men collects papers through the audience and hurls questions in rapid order which are answered quickly and in most instances correctly. One woman plays the piano as quick as selections are written. While the other answers the questions. 17 minutes full stage. Went good.
“The Forest Fire” with Sylvia Bidwell and Company. 32 minutes fs. Four special scenes. They have a stage full of scenry [sic] and the electrical effects are simply marvelous. Everybody else on the bill is working in two and a half this week on account of the room required by the “Forest Fire” equipment. Held the audience in their seats until the final curtain, and closed strong.
In “Holiday’s Dream.” 23 min. This is a tremendous spectacle production. Miss Macomber is a splendid pantomimic dancer and plays the principal role in a very pretty story, the action of which takes place in a garden in which a pool of water is the center. Girl models come to life and dive into the pool during the action of the piece, remaining there until the finish which holds the audience in a state of wonder. Miss Macomber introduces a number of dances in which she is assisted by Willard Foote and the Suss Girls. The act is beautifully staged, has a spectacular finish and at the close, the audience gave it a round of applause that lasted several minutes.
19 min. The ambidextrous writing marvel. A very interesting and educational novelty in the art of trick penmanship. Holds close attention of the audience. He has one new specimen since his last visit and was very well received.
