Lidell & Gibson
In a Comedy Sketch entitled “Just Vaudevillians” — Two men as female impersonators; singing and talking; this act created lots of laughter throughout, but received a light hand. Had a handsome drop. 14 min. full.
“Dinkelspiel’s Christmas”
21 min. F.S. A sketch in Hobart’s characteristic vein, full of bright lines and funny situation with a good story. The character of Dinkelspiel is well taken by Reinhold, and the support is excellent. The audience laughter heartily throughout, and gave good applause at the close.
“Christmas on Blackwell’s Island”
19 min. in 1 ½. Same act as presented here before, with some new material interpolated in the way of songs and gags. Laughter and applause, sometime stopping the act. Closed strong.
Bert Leslie
17 minutes f.s. Leslie had the same experience as the Seldoms had last week at the Grand Central Station, and his stuff did not survive this afternoon, but he went on. Leslie was as much a feature as ever, but his company iS PUNK. In fact, I cannot see how a man like Leslie would risk his reputation with the people he has with him on this trip.
Solly Ward & Co
In sketch “Babies”. Mr. Ward is a very fine comedian, knows how to make every point and make them. He has a good sketch and his support is good. Thoroughly satisfactory in every way. 21 minutes. Open in one closed full stage.
Frank Wilcox & Co.
(21 mins.) A very good comedy sketch with six people in the cast. Plenty of action and the comedy situations are numerous and well worked out. The act scored a laughing hit and closed strong.
Paul Decker & Company
(22 mins.) in “I Heard -!!!.” – A new one-act comedy and fully up to his previous vaudeville sketches. It is a fest action playlet with gossip and its theme and very well played. Got a lot of laughs all the way through and closed strong.
William Kent in “Shivers”
(20 mins.) This sketch was a big laugh winner for us and an excellent comedy vehicle for Kent, a comedian of popularity as well as talent. This sketch is very well played.
Chas Maydan & Co
17 min full stage spec.
A dandy comedy sketch, got lots of laughs and closed to a big hand.
