Hal & Francis
15 min. Man and woman in a singing, talking and comedy skit, “Town and Country.” Their material is a little light-waisted and handled rather slow but got some laughs and the act did fairly well, finishing with a song and dance.
“Vice Versa”
Moved from closing to 2nd after matinee. Two men and one woman in comedy sketch. Comedy carried to the sicking [sic] state by being to[sic] foolish. Some laughs but went poor all shows. The poorest sketch we have played in some time.
Douglas Flint & Company
Two men and a woman in a comedy sketch entitled “The Merchant Prince” – Comedy all through the act. This act is very good, full of laughs and some vin to it. 15 min full stage. Went good.
Paul Dickey and Co.
“The Come-Back”. The best of all the college comedies. Has the right atmosphere and strikes one as being written by a college man and played by college men, true to life. F.S.
Kate Elinore & Sam Williams
20 min. in one. This is a hard spot to fill but they held it down very well with a new line of material put over in Kate Elinore’s individual style. Makes two changes of grotesque costume which get the big laugh.
“Rube” Dickinson
11 min. in one. This man has a very original delivery, and really more typical of the “rube” politician than anybody we have had. Was listened to with rapt attention, with considerable laughter, closing well. Held the spot O.K.
Thos. Swift & Co.
In a very clever comedy sketch called “Me and Mary,” introducing a little singing. Mr. Swift plays his part very well indeed and is ably assisted by Miss Kelly. The act could easily go down the bill a couple of notches. Worth playing anywhere. 18 minutes full stage. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ACT DOES NOT CLOSE IN ONE, although their agent told me it did.
“Forty Wines.”
19 min. A comedy playlet by Everett S. Ruskay with Fay Wallace and Regan Hughston. This is a dream playlet written around a new theme and carries interest through its odd construction, the story being entirely different from anything we have seen in this line. It is very well played by the two principals employed and reaching a pleasing climax, made an excellent impression finishing to a very good hand.
Thomas Swift & Co.
“Me and Mary.” Here is a dandy little comedy sketch that came into the bill practically unheralded and went over with a bang. It is light in texture with a lot of comedy and a couple of songs, and finished with a bit of sentiment that is splendidly woven in for a finish. The act for a lot of laughs and then closed to applause that earned several curtains.
Frances Nordstrom and William Pinkham
In “All Wrong” 13 minutes. F.S. Dark interior. A comedy sketch with a bit of dramatics and a surprise finish. They reached Boston Monday night just in time to close the show. A good act, well played, and went over first rate.
