3 shows, 17 min, open in 1, close in 3. Lynch did very well on his ‘shine’ songs, and the balance of the act went nicely. Owing to the lack of comedy in the early part of the show, I have requested them to do their old act, which has not been given here for nearly four years, and will be new. This will liven up the program considerably where it is most needed.
2 shows, 14 min in 1. First time here for this vocalist comedienne. She is attractive looking and sings fairly well but better than all else has unlimited nerve, probably imbibed from Al Fields, as it is the same character. She got the crowd as no similar singer has done here of late and went off the stage with the stamp of approval of the people, who furnish the wherewithal to keep the show going, fixed upon her.
He gave us in the first part of his act, practically the same material that he offered last season, but he concludes with the song, ‘The Maiden and the Jay’ in which he is assisted by a partner. Although he got on extremely late this afternoon the show running over time he went very strongly. 15 min in one, 2 shows.
These people, who have recently joined as business partners, made the hit of the bill. While we cannot see much in it there was no mistaking the friendly attitude of the audience. World’s tramp character and Miss Kingston’s singing were the feature. 23 min, open and close in one.
Two women and one man in a comedy and singing act which presents quite an element of novelty, the women opening the act in one and impersonating some East Side girls. Naturally this style of work goes much better in this town than it does elsewhere, but I was prepared to make some whole sale cuttings in the act of the account of the report from Philadelphia. Possibly the trimming up of the act over there put them on their guard, at any rate they did nothing or said nothing today that could give any offense. After their first appearance in one, the man comes on and gives a little monologue which is rather mediocre and then sings a song. There is then another change to full stage, when the women come in short dresses and sing a song, and then all three appear in very pretty ward-robe which is covered with Rhine stones and working on a semi-dark stage make a pretty effect. For this house at least, it is a mighty good act and went excellently this afternoon. 18 min, can open in one and close in one if necessary.
