3 shows, 12 min, full stage—The work of these people is something of a novelty, as rope throwing is not familiar to the audiences here in the East. There was not much applause throughout the act, but they get a good hand at the finish.
3 shows, 12 min., open full stage, close in one—This couple are not very good singers, and their comedy does not amount to much, but Rastus’ tumbling always makes a hit. They finish strong in an early part of the bill.
3 shows, 17 min., full stage—This is a laugh provoking bit of farce, and makes an excellent turn in the three show section. In the middle show, they do their old act in one, but fill the same time.
3 shows, 11 min., full stage—This is one of the best three-shows “sight” act we have had for some time, and makes a stunning opening act. The man in one of the best barrel jumpers, high kickers and vaulters even seen on this stage at least, this being his first appearance here. The act is costumed neatly and the woman merely assists LePage in arranging the articles used in his act.
is working in white face. Has a little talk and a number of parodies which produced a number of laughs. He is being paid all he is worth. 17 minutes in one.
Assisted by Edwin Boring in, “The Editor”. Although this sketch has been seen here before, it was produced in her usual acceptable manner and was very well received. 20 min., full stage.
European acrobats. All men. These performers have certainly reached the limit in daring feats and originality. The space permitted is too limited to do them anything like justice in the way of describing their work. 8 minutes full stage.
Presenting their one-act play entitled “A Daughter of Bacchus.” Some may question the morale of the sketch as Filson and his partner feign drunkenness (the former from start to close in the latter three-fourths of the time she is up on the stage) during the entirety of its recital. It is admirably acted and it reached the “laugh center” with both audiences yesterday. 23 minutes full stage.
a large, well-formed, particularly well-dressed singing comedienne supported by two negro boys who have outgrown the pickaninny class and whose work consists of making discordant noises on a cornet, a trombone and shouting at the top of their voices in a way that would blast rocks. 14 minutes in I.
two men who do a black and white face comedy musical act. The burnt cork member of the duo is very funny and the major portion of his stuff is new. The act is in the front row in its class. 20 minutes full stage.
