The White Tscherkes Trio
Russian vocalists. Man and two women. A very neat and well dressed singing act which made good. Carry their own set. 10 minutes full stage, 3 minutes, in one.
Leo Dervalto
Spiral ascensionist. He does equilibristic work—rifle shooting and juggling—upon a sphere in which he is assisted by a woman. This turn belongs strictly in the novelty class. It makes good. 12 minutes in I.
Louise Brehaney
A prettily-costumed, refined young woman who is the possessor of a voice that is musically sweet and well-trained. She is a winner with all for she has a repertoire that appeals to all classes. 10 minutes in one.
Mary Norman
Presenting a monologue entitled “In Society.” She is a hit with the intelligent portion of her audiences. Her best efforts sail over the “pin heads” and under the gallery. 21 minutes full stage.
Hal Godfrey & Co.
Presenting the comedietta “A Very Bad Boy.” Godfrey is a grotesque dancer, in which work he makes a big hit. He is deserving of something better than the sketch he is appearing in. It pleases fairly well, however. 20 minutes full stage.
The Baggesens
Full stage. Hardly know what to say about this act. It is a good one in its line, but appears to me to be a little over-paid. The woman does most ordinary juggling and is not watched by the audience, and the man, through his extremely foolish pantomime work and the breaking up of a full china store of equipment get lots of laughter and holds the audience to the finish.
James J. Mortch
Entire act in one. One of the best talking and singing monologists I play. Everything new and out of the usual beaten path. So well received audiences would hardly let him leave the stage.
John and Bertha Gleeson
Entire act in one. This is the prettiest straight dancing act I have ever played, but the little singing they do is certainly bad and they should avoid it altogether
The Kilties
Consumed entire half of the program. There are 35 musicians doing instrumental and vocal work, bag piping, Highland and sword dances, etc. The entire program as furnished by them was satisfactory in the extreme and on account of its diversity evidently pleased large audiences.
The Andreaessens
a couple of European acrobats. They did a good act but a very short one. There is nothing about their performance that cannot be done by the majority of our American acrobats, still their work is clean and done with that finish that distinguishes all of the European artists, and I imagine that they will go still better when they get off of their Sea legs, as they did not land until Saturday. 6 minutes; full stage.
