12 mins. in one. Songs and talking. On the high notes Miss Shaw’s voice is very much off. She strikes a sour note occasionally, and that puts a damper on her work. She is attractive in appearance and dresses neatly, making changes of costume. Has some objectionable stuff in her character work that had to be cut out. Guess she has been playing museums.
Full stage, can close in 1, 20 mins. Al Bellman and Lottie Moore in a character singing act entitled, “A Bit of Vaudeville.’ Very little talking, a singing act entirely. They close with the ‘tough song and dance’ and received a lot of applause. I was greatly surprised at the manner in which this act was received. Every character was strongly applauded and they responded to two curtain calls.
Just the same Daly that he was ever was, clever, eccentric and possessed of an individuality all his own. Our audiences, which are of very superior grade intelligence and largely old-time theatre goers, applauded his to the echo and curtain calls so numerous that he is compelled to deliver a speech at every performance. Fine act for Washington. Full stage.
Character songs. This young woman is a sister to Al Wilson, the German comedian, and in New York at least I imagine that her act can go done considerably farther on the bill than where I had placed her this afternoon. This singing of ‘coon’ songs naturally got the younger portion of our audiences in great shape. 12 min in 1.
In imitations of his own characterization. Has two assistants. Mr. Daly is in good form and the act goes strong. Everybody knows ‘Dan Daly’ and he is certainly a drawing card. Does his make-up on the stage, and carries a dialogue and sings at the same time. His closing character song is great, and receives most generous applause. Full stage, 22 min.
Wearing Buster Brown clothes.
She has typical “kid”mannerisms
