Stone and Campbell.

18 Mint.; One. John Michael Campbell (Smith and Campbell) is now working with “Hank” Stone in an act patterned, in a general way; after the former offering. Campbell is still the eccentric with Stone attired as a policeman and raising his club menacingly in place of the old-style slapping the comic with a newspaper. Stone is a very good straight and the act should rank with the best of those doing this style of work.

Rooney & Bent

23 min. Although this team has played Keith’s more often than any other act in vaudeville, they were warmly received with their new vehicle. Their offering is along the same lines as their old act with a lot of new talk and the usual amount of dancing which scored. Miss Bent displayed three handsome gowns. They finished strong.

Charles Bensee & Florence Baird

In “Songiflage” – principally a talking act, with a little singing; wind-up with Scottish dance and song, dressed in Scotch dress. 17 min in one; went poor at matinee but better at evening show.

Norman Spur

“The Boy Scout” – young man dresses in a boy scout uniform. Tells of his experiences in the trenches and the people he met. His line of talk is very interesting and the audience gave him their strict attention during the 17 minutes he was talking (in one)/ he uses slides through out his act. Went over big.

Cole, Russell & Davis

The show started at this point. This is a snappy talking act by two men and a woman, built on new lines, and the audience were quick to realize that “something was doing.” 14 minutes in one.

Hermine Shone & Co.

Another great possibility gone wrong both in the writing and playing. I don’t mean to imply that it is not a good act – from the audience’s standpoint – although a great many of them got nervous and “wiggly” after the thing was about half through. It plays up strong, however, at the finish with a strong appeal to Motherhood which gets a good hand. 30 minutes full stage.

Charles Kellogg

Mr. Kellogg pleased a great many of the audience, and seemed to tire many others sitting around me at the Monday afternoon performance, and others were squirming in their seats Monday night. There is too much talk in his act which does not demonstrate anything. If he could be induced to cut it down fully five minutes, the act would be more pleasing to the audience. I think he has a certain draft, and is worth playing in towns of this kind about one every five years. 23 minutes full stage.

Nat Goodwin

19 min. This was his first appearance in Philadelphia in eight years and he was given a warm reception by a large house. His offering consisted of a routine of stories, some of them personal and not all of them new. He finished with the “Danny Deever” recitation which scored a big hit for him. He closed to a big hand.

Woodrow? [sic]

Works in one 14 min. Cartoons drawn upside down while talking on the election. A good line of talk, cartoons on Bryan, Roosevelt, Uncle Sam etc. This man resembles WILSON. Went good.

Capt. Anson and Daughters

16 min. This baseball veteran and the two girls registered a big applause hit. The audience displayed a lot of interest in his talk on old-time ball players and the girls put a timely finish to the act with a couple of popular song and a bit of dancing. Captain Anson was forced to take several bows at the finish of his act.
