Nichols Sisters
13 min. in one. Well known on the circuit and always go well. Introduce some new songs and have some clever bits of darkey humor that gets that laugh. Closed well.
“A Night in a Turkish Bath”
This act met with marked approval, the comedy getting over well and the songs going immensely. It is well staged. Being an that is most decidedly welcome. 25 Min. F.S.
Fannie Rice
15 minutes in two. She introduces a novelty singing and comedy act that is good. Could hold an important spot in any bill.
Ethel Green
20 minutes in one. Miss Green is about the daintiest little comedienne we have had for some time, and her line of stuff is both original and clean. This afternoon she made a decidedly favorable impression.
Maud Tiffany
Singing comedienne. Don’t know whether the preceding act put a damper on this one but she got a bad start this afternoon. She is a very pretty girl with a good singing voice and a nice personality and good looking clothes. Was a little long in making her changes at the matinee and the holiday crowd got uneasy. Went much better at night. Olio in 1. Time 12 min.
Gene Greene
18 min. in one. A good line of original dialect songs rendered with lots of fire and ginger. Greene is a real comedian, and his facial contortions for considerable laughter. Strong applause after each number. Closed very big after the “Piano Man” song.
Beth Tate
Singing comedienne. This girl has a good personality and has a collection of songs that carry her over in good shape. She sang 4 today with a change for each. Good value for any manager in this spot. Olio in 1. Time 12 min.
Nellie Nichols
Songstress comedienne. Miss Nichols went very big, her various songs scoring a manner that stamped her as an unqualified success. Really the applause hit of the bill, gaining for herself the strongest finish of the show. 16 minutes, olio in 1.
Ray Cox
29 minutes. Open in one 15 minutes. 14 minutes close in two. Garden. Miss Cox sang three songs and closed with her aeroplane number. Her songs went over very well, with many laughs, and the aeroplane trip kept the audience in screams of laughter. Held this hard spot in great shape and closed big.
Jesse Lasky’s
The operetta, reconstructed, was given its first performance in its new form at this house this afternoon; the first showing was rather shaky and didn’t get over well, but it was surprising how much better it went at the night performance, after a two hours’ rehearsal, following the matinee. The story is a good one; the music is quite attractive and the lyrics are good; scenery and costumes in Lasky’s best style; comedy gets over in good shape and the parts, with the exception of the principal man and woman, are well played. These two seem to fall short, both in acting and singing, but they are by no means bad, but when one considers how much more could be done with the music, it seems a pity not have the best. Lasky realizes this and says that he is going to change them as soon as possible. I don’t believe, however, that anyone needs to fear to play the act. Our very conservative Providence paper – “The Journal” – gave them a very good notice this morning. 35 min. F.S.
