19 min. “The Red Fox Trot.” This is a very good comedy sketch employing five characters and takes a dig at the present day dancing craze. It is a very well written story and splendidly played and a ‘Fox Trot’ number is worthy of a big hand. Sketch was very well liked.
19 min. “Brother Fans.” The sketch is a baseball story by Tom Barry and was published in magazine form. Lewis is a well known star, formerly of George Cohan’s company. He plays the role of an American baseball fan in London and fits the comedy character into a dramatic playlet. The sketch has some tense moments, but there is always a comedy line to lighten it up and it finished to a good hand. Lewis closes with a monologue hit that kept the audience in a roar of laughter and is a gem as an encore.
22 min. Open in one., close F.S. ‘The Partners.’ Very good comedy sketch patterned along the lines of ‘Potash and Perlmutter,’ but with a different story. Bright lines and comedy well handled by the two men who are clever character comedians. Act also employs a girl. Was a strong hit.
20 min. A very pretty and well written sketch by Everett Ruskay, employing two men and a girl. It is a comedy on high finance with some clever lines and bits of business which are handled to a nicety by the trio. It held close attention from start to finish and was warmly applauded.
28 mi. Their new sketch, “Married,” is undoubtedly one of the best comedy playlets introduced in vaudeville in a long time. It is a well written story of an entirely different theme than usual, with plenty of good comedy lines, lots of action and a surprise finish. Three characters are employed, the third being a burglar. It scored from start to finish and closed with a big laugh and solid applause.
In a singing and talking comedy skit “Strangers in a Strange Flat”—24 Min. Full Stage. Can close 6 in one. Two thoroughly capable and artistic performers, offering a skit brim full of rich comedy and scoring a succession of laughing hits.
Comedy sketch “The Ice Man”—16 Min. Full Stage. Certainly made the people laugh; so it must be good.
“A Club Woman?” A rather clever sketch. Full stage. Would not care to repeat.
In their new act “The Path of the Primroses.” This sketch is decidedly different from anything these people have given in vaudeville. It is a decided novelty and gave splendid satisfaction. 24 Min. open F.S. Close in One.
Man and woman, comedy sketch “Duffy’s Rise” an old time sidewalk conversation act elaborated on and made into a sketch and a scream from start to finish 18 minutes full stage, interior.
