Conley & Klein
Irish comedians and dancers. This is unfair act, and while it is not great does no harm, fills time, and as they work in one, gives opportunity for a set.13 min. 3 shows.
Juggling Doyle
this young fellow makes a very neat appearance, and does a lively little act, which in its way, may be classed as good, if placed early on the bill. 10 min. full stage, 3 shows.
Burmese Foot Jugglers
2 shows, 14 min., full stage—This team went just as I expected it would after seeing it in Philadelphia. They did not wake up to its importance until the act was more than half over, and then they tried to make up in applause for their lack of appreciation in the start. It will be talked about this week, and we will get the benefit next.
Eva Williams and Jac Tucker
2 shows, 23 min., full stage—In a revival of their first character sketch, “Skinny’s Finish”, which was as well received as ever. They have great personal popularity in this town.
John Ford
2 shows, 10 min. in one—A great step dancer; scored a solid hit. He will go very strong with the night audiences. Was somewhat handicapped by following Papinta, but this will be obviated on re-arrangement of the show.
Papinta
2 shows, 14 min. full stage—It is hard to get a line on this act, for they never applaud it excessively, although I think it pleases them. However, this can be the last week.
Claudius and Corbin
3 shows, 11 min. in one—this is the best duo of banjo players that play this house; always go strong. They held up very well today, although they were on earlier than usual.
Gorman and Lawson
2 shows, 14 min. full stage—I cannot see where they fit in the two-show section of the show, as there is nothing among the three turners that is so poor. To be properly placed, they should have been in the morning show, and are not down at 2.45 where it was placed on report of the act. There are poor singers, and their dancing is not sufficiently good to make amends for their shortcomings as vocalists and comedians.
Harmony Four
2 shows, 25 min. open full stage, close in one—This was the saving act of the bill; scored a big hit. The Quartet sing about as well as the average, being particularly good in their ensemble work, and one of them is a very good violinist. The Quartet show tremendous improvement over their work when here last.
Sophie Burnham
3 shows, 9 min. in one—Fairly good singer, but she did not go very strong with this afternoon’s audience. Her great drawback is that she lacks personal magnetism.
