21 minutes f.s. This was altogether too far down on the bill for this act but it got laughs all through and had a very good finish. Putting it up to-night to get more out of it. Cut word “hell.”
Sketch “A Legitimate Hold Up.” Opening in 1 closing full stage. 20 minutes. Macart’s monologue in 1 only went fair while the sketch got many good laughs and seemed to please our audience.
Comedy sketch which opened a little quietly but certainly had them screaming before it finished. Open One, close F.S.
In “Wanted—A Sister.” A good lively comedy sketch, which got plenty of laughs. Considering all that Mr. Young does to help business, with his Shakespearean lectures at the schools, he is excellent value. 25 Min. F.S.
A very good lively comedy sketch with funny situations. Went very good. 20 minutes in 3.
Another English comedy produced by Fred Ginott and Wal Pink. Idea is funny and keeps the audience laughing all the way through but the finish could be greatly improved. With a proper finish this act will get by in good shape. C.D.F. in 3. Time 27 min.
“At Hensfoot Corners”. Rural comedy skit. 18 minutes full stage. Same act as before and going nicely.
“Wanted, A Sister”. A clever comedy of college life, well acted and good enough for any bill. Full stage.
19 min. Drawing room set. In “Tips on Taps.” A lively comedietta which made good, although it is not a great act by any means. The personal attractiveness of Miss Gordon and her clever actors saved it from mediocrity.
Three men, one woman, in a comedy sketch, “Double Troubles.” The theme of the act is the mistaken identity idea, but the offering proved a thoroughly acceptable and very meritorious one. There were a lot of laughs and at no time did the interest seem to lag. A very satisfactory sketch and one that seemed to please the entire house. 16 minutes, C.D.F. in 3.
