Bert Leslie and Co.
In “Hogan, the Painter.” 15 minutes f.s. Doing pretty much the same line of stuff, and getting it over, although not a riot.
“The Hold-Up”
24 Min. Full Stage. The novelty of this sketch seemed to appeal to the audience, and it closed the show alright.
Rice & Cohen
In “The Path of the Primroses”—22 Min. Full Stage, close in 1—A very good sketch, well done and scored a hit.
Gerald Griffon & Co
“Other People’s Money”—Three women and one man. Griffon’s name is a good drawing card most anywhere here in the past. He always has good material, and out people always seem to enjoy his offerings. Act went better today than when here last. C D F in 3—20 min.
McDevitt, Kelly & Lucy
In a sketch called “The Piano Movers.” 20 minutes, full stage, including 4 minutes close in One. One woman and two men. The men are the whole show. They do some grotesque dancing and piano-playing that are great. They are a big scream. One of the best comedy act ever seen here.
Edmund Hayes & Co.
“The Piano Movers.” 20 min. F.S. This act was certainly a scream from start to finish. Hayes received an advance hand, as he is well known here and, of course, all his “wise guy” witticisms got the house very strong. The difficulties of the piano mover are very amusing and the act was a hit right up to a smashing big finish.
Cheyenne Days
This is a crack-a-jack western act, full of life and western atmosphere. Lots of comedy and made a splendid finale to what is probably the best show of the season. 15 Min. F.S.
Rosalind Coghlan & Co.
In a comedy sketch entitled “The Obstinate Miss Granger.” This is the first time in a big house with this sketch. It made good most thoroughly. It is essentially a comedy act with just a little touch of seriousness to it. It is the kind of thing, I think wold please in almost any show; not a headline act nor one to put down at the bottom of your bill, but anywhere in the middle of the program, I think will give thorough satisfaction. It gave evident pleasure to our audiences today. 20 Min. F.S.
Rogers, Colwell and Mainhall
13 Mins.
Dorothy Rogers and two men in an old style farcical sketch of the in and out of doors sort. Man stopping at a hotel the day of his wedding is robbed of his money and clothes. Colored bellboy is recruited by him to secure some raiment for him, and borrows a German uniform from another guest. His fiancé arrives and believes her lover has gone crazy. Sketch has weak finish and is of small consequence anyway.
Hal Johnson and Co.
Four (Parlor).
The Hal Johnson comedy skit de- pends upon a female impersonation by Mr. Johnson. It is very well done. Johnson does not try to make it too effeminate, rather rough with low comedy in the business of the character. This with the dialog amuses. But the sketch is knocked skelter when toward its close the man playing a father breaks into a yodeling song… The other players take care of their roles, but just why the yodel was allowed can never be explained…
