Mrs. Gardner Crane and Co.
“The Little Sunbeam.” A farce and a good one. The scene is laid in a Pullman sleeper and the situations and line of talk are very funny. In one and a half.
Billy B. Van & Beaumont Sisters
31 min. F.S., close in one. This act made a hit when it was here before, and it went stronger than ever this time. He has added much new material, all good. Van is certainly a born comedian and fills the act full of ginger and life. The close in one is no less amusing than the forepart of the act. Finished big.
Charles Leonard Fletcher & Co.
“His Nerve.” 22 min. F.S. Mr. Fletcher has found a strong vehicle in the play of Mr. Knight’s. It is founded on the Raffles’ idea, but is sufficiently original and full of novel situations to hold the interest of the audience intensely during the entire act. Mr. Fletcher’s support is O.K., and the presentation leaves nothing to be desired. We have been so used to enjoying Mr. Fletcher in many different characters to show his versatility that it is quite refreshing to see him in a consistent feature in which he plays but one part. It is ripping piece of work, ably presented and closed very strong.
Gordon Eldrid and Company
17 minutes f.s. We have played this act before, but this afternoon it went as well as ever. It is one of the best laughing sketches of the kind we have.
Moey & Lee
In their new act, “The Hebrew Policeman” which it seems to me is better than those they have given before. In this difficult position on the bill they scored the biggest kind of hit. 18 min. in one.
Tom Nawn
In his new sketch. “When Pat was King.” A very funny act well played. Two special scenes full staged. 23 min.
Charley Grapewin and Anna Chance
Master Gabriel & Co.
3 men, 2 woman and Gabriel. “Little Tommy Tucker.” Here is an act that we have spent much money in advertising as now. We have been lead [sic] to believe that Gabriel had something new. It is precisely the same thing in plot, lines and situations as “Auntie’s Visit” which we played some months ago, the only change being in the fact that Gabriel does not wear a “Buster Brown” costume. This unintended misrepresentation on our part will undoubtedly injure business. Not that the act is without merit, but all our patrons know it by heart.
Augustus Neville & Co.
2 men, 1 woman. F.S. Interior. “Politics and Petticoats.” Time 18. Rather novel plot well acted. Met an average reception from the audience.
Ernest Carr & Co.
Two men and a woman. Comedy sketch called THE GRAFTER. Very funny sketch and went well with the audience.
