two men in banjo duets, and to my mind, they are about as good as any artist in this line. This is not saying much of course, from a musical standpoint, but they managed to catch the audience in good shape, especially with their rendition of “The Poet and Peasant” overture. 11 minutes, in one.
Two men in the singing, talking and dancing at. The conversation is rather ordinary but nothing at all harmful about it; nothing especially bright, but they do some clever dancing at the finish which carries them off all right. It can be called a fair three-show act. 15 minutes, in one.
man and woman in an exhibition in what can be done with the rope lasso. The act is quite novel and they introduce some rather remarkable methods of handling a rope. There is nothing about the act to get any great amount of applause, but the audience seemed to be very much pleased and interested in it. 10 minutes; full stage.
recent stars in the farce comedy “A Hot Old Tim,” This is there initiatory vaudeville appearance and to say that they are making good would be putting it mildly. While their turn went big at the matinee yesterday (their first show), it was a “knock out” in the evening. Their vehicle is a trifle crude and of coarse in places but after the pruning knife is used a little it is safe to predict that it will be one of the greatest laugh-makers in vaudeville. 28 minutes full stage. 3 minutes in 1.
presenting the sketch “The Salt Cellar.” This vehicle was a winner when Miss Burkhart appeared in it some years ago but it will hardly do now. The theme has been worn threadbare. 25 minutes full stage.
Full stage, can close in one. “A Romance of New Jersey”, in which they have the assistance of Miss Russell and John Russell, Jr. There are plenty of laughs and a good comedy in this new sketch and they were the hit of the bill.
Full stage presenting “Driftwood.” The most artistic sketch we have played here this season and I really consider it very much better than their old offering “Skinny’s Finish.” A decided hit here.
2 shows- [12 or 18?] min- something entirely new and wonderful display of skill, employing the feet instead of the hands. First part of act on exhibition of foot-ball playing; consists of foot juggling of balls while standing on the stage. While it is not a turn that would create a sensation, it earned quite a lot of enthusiastic applause.
of the various comedians to break crockery, this man is certainly the funniest, and the whole act is depended upon that. From the time that he gets started, until the finish, there is a continual howl of laughter. 16 min. full stage.
Musical artist. She proved her capability be being the third xylophonist in three consecutive weeks, and making the biggest hit of the lot, which she deserved for her execution is something remarkable. The rest of her act is also very good. 17 min. open in two, close in one.
