Lexey and O’Connor, an attractive girl and boy, sang and danced to a still unsettled population and “Ye Song Shop” got the first break of performance, the saunterers and leisurely diners being pretty well assembled then. There has been a change in one male principal since the turn played Chicago. The songs whizzed over in spots and lagged badly in others. It is still what it has been from the first, a great idea lukewarmly executed. It finished to the rehearsed number of bows, which were justified through not clamorously demanded.
Man and woman — Dances, Recitations and Songs. Open in one, go to Full with toe dancing, then close in one. 15 min. Went good.
Green and Pugh, colored, will go in cheap houses. They work fast, in fact so fast one has a hard time trying to understand what they are talking about. One sings well as the other dances and the tall member of the team is a very good dancer. The act scored because of the speed of the routine.
William O’Clare and Girls, and there are four girls, do real Irish throughout the act. Why doesn’t O’Clare bill the girls by their names? O’Clare can sing and so can the girls, in fact they can dance as well, and they pleased all. This act closed with rounds of applause. The moving picture followed.
9 min. Young fellow and girl in a very pleasing singing and dance number. Clever steppers and their work is a little different than the usual run. Very well liked.
8 min. A trio of attractive looking girls who do some graceful dancing. One of the girls also sings a war song. Prettily dressed and very well liked in the opening spot.
“Two Dailty Girls From Songland” — act consists of songs and dances (soft and colg) with costumes changes — 10 min. one; went good.
15 min. This was his first time here in several years and scored a big applause hit with songs and dances. He also introduced a recitation that was well liked and closed to a liberal hand.
Bobby O’Neill in “The Joker,” a Herman Timberg production scored strongly following. It is one of the best acts of its type seen around and O’Neill has wisely surrounded himself with some clever girl assistants. Mabey Ferry, Dorothy Godfrey, Fay Tunis and Babette Busey are the lookers who help the general effect. The girls can sing and dance, with Miss Ferry’s personality registering. The act is prettily produced, and O’Neill is fitted with a vehicle that will stand much mileage before it is ready for on overhauling.
“Study in Daintiness” – Songs, dances and costumes changes. This act went only fair; 10 min. in one.
