Alfred Lester
His act may be likened to a “bare stage act” although he uses a setting.
Frank E. McNish
Appeared in a worn and dirty looking checkered suit with trousers held up over with suspenders over a forbidden shirt. Exracts from his old act. Some dancing and table work.
Mabel Taliafero
Ran for thirty minutes and many would have wanted it to run longer. Miss Taliafero played the part admirably. Gave to the part a realism that caught and held the house. The original scenery was used.
Edwin Keough and Company
Mr. Keough plays the dual parts of Cornelius O’Burke, the typical Irish lover and Robespierre, the latter allowing him to show his ability as a tragic actor. The author plays the part of Judy Sheridan, with whom Cornelius is in love. Her acting is fine and not forced.
Emmett Corrigan
Action takes place in a locker room of an athletic club where Mr.Corrigan is training for a football game. An erroneous story that he had broken his leg and could not win the game tempts a young man who embezzled from his employer to stake on the half-back to villiany and contrives to keep him out of the game. There is a transparent scene in the background showing a foot ball game. He is carried around on the shoulders of the players when he wins.
James J. Corbett
Had the advantage of a smaller stage.
Gertrude Mansfield and Caryl Wilbur
This clever pair have ample scope to demonstrate their powers. Wilbur plays a double role of twin brothers. He makes a good distinction between the two without wardrobe changes. Miss Mansfield as the boarding Mistress has a part well suited to her.
Laura Bennett and Company
A different and improved sketch from what was given previously. “Nothing has been retained of the original but the ground plan and Miss Bennett’s negro specialty”
Harry and Kate Jackson
Mrs. Jackson played the part of a decieved wife with a seriousness worthy of a better reward.
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Monroe
The novelty is in the setting from which the sketch derives it’s name. A combination drop which unfolds to represent a “centre door fancy”setting. Mr. Monroe is not an actor in the true sence.
