These people made quite a hit today in a sketch that is much out of the ordinary and the big man’s makeup as a child was very ludicrous and created lots of laughter. Their dancing and singing finish is also out of the ordinary and went big. 20 min. open in three, close in one, 2 shows.
Monologist:- This young man has a very neat appearance and a nice delivery and while the act is not great is pleasant, and may easily be classed as good. 17 min. in on, 2 shows.
Japanese Juggler, and foot balancer. This act is too well known to need comment. It is about the same now as it has been for the past few years. May be classed as good. 17 min. full stage, 2 shows.
In a specialty introducing singing, stories, and some dancing, the latter of which, as presented by the man, is good. The woman is very poor. At best the act may be called fair. 17 min. in one, 3 shows.
time 10, all in one:- Miss Helena makes a feature of her phenomenally high upper notes, which are truly marvelous. She has an excellent voice as well, and with the selections in use makes an excellent offering, well worth the money.
time 15, set- full stage:- Guyer is possibly one of the best American pantomimists, but the principal part of the act consists of double acrobatic dancing. Consider it a fairly good offering, possible overpaid.
In Song imitations. A wonderfully act; one looks in vain for the precocity of a child in his work, but instead is impressed by the genuine skill of an artist in inches. Makes a great hit most deservedly. In one. Time 8 Min.
In a “Romance of New Jersey”; hardly necessary to state that Jim Russell owned the audience from the first sound of his voice; the brothers are cleverly supported by Miss Russell, who has the final appearance and is richly gowned. John works in his favorite song at the close which makes as great a hit as ever. Close in one; time 36 minutes.
Acrobats; marvelously clever artists, two women and a man; particularly quick and light in their movements, but the women have made the great error of appearing in the long satin skirts over there tights, which hamper their motions dangerously and take away all the grace of their movements; their act however makes a great hit. Full stage Time 9 min.
“A Quiet Evening in the Club.” Very clever dialogue sketch; very little new stuff since last season, but they handled the matter well and make good; both have an easy suavity of manner and diction way above the average. Full stage, close in one. Time 27 minutes.
