In a Comedy Sketch “One Way to Lose Her” — One man and two women. This afternoon half of the audience walked out on this — to-night Miss Finch made a short speech in reference to her career in the movies which helped a little, but there is nothing to her sketch — she might be all right in the movies, but sure a failure in vaudeville. The people sure “knocked” this act. 20 min. full.
21 min in full stage
This sketch was simply tolerated, getting but few laughs and little applause at the finish.
(23 mins.) “The Man Who Butted In” First appearance here in more than two years and a decided hit with a very good rural comedy sketch of the usual Cressy type. Is well played, as usual, and very well received, getting a lot of laughs.
In “Jack, The Giant Killer.” 17 minutes f.s. Auger’s act is the same as when last played here in Boston, except he carries a special set which does not help the comedy. In fact, this afternoon and to-night it did not get the laughs as formerly.
27 min. The story of two pals, one a Bohemian bachelor, the other a married man, both of who have been out for a “time”, the Bohemian coming to his friend’s home to square the latter with his wife. A good deal of humor, getting laughter throughout. Finish is good and gets applause.
24 minutes in f.s. Jas. Horne is playing one of his old sketches. He has two local favorites in the cast. He has changed the sketch somewhat and certainly has not improved it any.
(17 mins.) “Shopping” – This sketch is unchanged from last season. It is a clever light comedy vehicle, well done, and contains plenty of laughs. Closed strong.
In “The Love Game.” A very clever comedy sketch ,well played by Mr. Hayden but his support is very poor. 21 minutes full stage.
In Their Comedy Skit entitled “Soup and SYMPATHY” — Man and woman. This sketch went very weak; nothing to it. People walked out on this, knocking as they went. 12 min. in two.
(19 mins.) A first class comedy sketch with three persons employed. It got a lot of laughs, is timely and well played. Closed to a very good hand.
