A good lively offering introducing singing, dancing, comedy and what not. The various characters portrayed were in good hands and the act hadn’t any trouble in getting by in good shape. Lots of life and get-up and a strong finish. 31 minutes, special set in 5.
“The Town Fiddler and the Country Maid.” The man enacts a decrepit old fellow whose speciality is the fiddle and the woman impersonates an over-grown country girl. They have a good line of comedy cross fire talk, all of which caught on nicely. The rube fiddle playing of the man went big. The act is away from the beaten path and had no trouble in holding attention throughout. None of the points were missed and the offering was thoroughly satisfactory. Finished exceptionally strong, taking bow after bow.
They did their new baseball sketch interspersed with some good songs and dances. The audiences and ourselves were together on this number and agreed that it was quite clever. Special drop in one.
20 min F.S. Miss Glaser received a strong advance hand and the sketch was well received by a big audience today. The lines are very bright, some of the passages of the music exceptionally fine, and on the whole, it was found to be thoroughly all right. Mr. Richards has a fine voice and an imposing stage presence, so that Miss Glaser’s support is all that could be desired. Received a fine closing hand, with curtain calls.
With the Jean Gordon Players. Two men and two women; dancing and singing sketch; stage setting represents a camp in the army. Principally Scottish singing and dancing. 17 min. full stage; went good.
