Dave Nowlin
mimic and comedian and also good singer. He has an act entirely out of the ordinary, with which he makes good. I’m exceptionally strong three a day turn. 15 min. in one.
Sailor & Barbette
Singing act. These people have good voices and make a very nice appearance. They close with the lady dressed in pink pajamas, and singing the pyjama [sic] song, from the Liberty Belle. 13 minutes. In one, 3 shows.
Morrissey & Rich
in an Irish version of the old photograph gallery nigger act act [sic] for which they carry a drop of their own. From a three a day standpoint it may be classed as good. 17 min. open in three, close in one, three shows.
Edwards and Booney
eccentric talking act. This is the poorest act on the bill, by long odds. Can hardly have said to make good, at best is only fair. 18 min. in one, 3 shows.
Reno, Richards & Co.
time 18 minutes, full stage. This act was a surprise, as it is now in very much better shape, both as to comedy and acrobatics, than ever before. It is really as good an act as we play. Considering prices paid other acts, it is well worth the money.
Lweis [sic] McCord & Co.
time 28 minutes, full stage. Presenting “Her Last Rehearsal.” The act was in bad shape Monday, owing to the fact that the man playing Romeo was very uncertain, it being his first performance. However, the act is working up and going nicely. McCord does not follow the Fredrick Bond Idea in the act, but treats the comedy more farcically, depending entirely on the laughs for his hit.
Four Nelson Comiques
2 shows—14 minutes—prison scene in 2—encore in 1—bit of grand opera of Faust—Edith Decker of San Francisco as Marguerite carries act to success—she possesses a pure soprano of rare sweetness and unusual strength—act invariably gets recall.
The Barrows—Lancaster Co.
2 shows—25 minutes—fancy box set in three for restaurant scene—sketch by Edmund Day entitled “A Jolly Jollier.—better sketch this combination ever gave—excels “Tactics” and “The Major’s Appointment”—Lancaster is an insipid actor, however. Alice May, the woman, makes fairly favorable impression.
Onro Family (s) A Night A Delmonico’s
Four men and a woman. One of the men does practically nothing, and the woman’s work don’t amount to much. The business is of a novel character and two of the party do some very clever work with table settings. Full Stage; fair closing out. Time 17 minutes.
Bill S. Clifford
Tailor-made swell. Good singer and dancer; repartee with audience makes a hit; makes the most of his song “Helen Gone”; a good all around dude. In one. Time 13 minutes.
