16 min. full stage – Several improvements since it was here last and is easily the greatest act of its class in the business. Personally, I doubt very much, so far as Boston is concerned, at least, if we could present any animal act that would be any possibility be any stronger. It especially appeals to the women and children in the afternoons.
15 min. full stage – In burlesque drama and tragedy. The act stands favorable comparison with that of Ross and Fenton, both in material and method of delivery and staging, the latter being equal to anything we have put on of late, and furnished from our own stock. The act went bigger than did that of Ross and Fenton.
20 min. in 1 – First time here for this monologue comedian, who really has something original to offer in this form of entertainment. The audience did not catch on at first, but when they did he went big, especially at the close, when he told a number of humorous Irish stories.
13 min. full stage – Two acrobats made up as Chinamen. They have no comedy to speak of and the most of their feats are performed with undue deliberation, for which reason they did not receive the applause to which they were entitled. Finished without a “hand.”
30 min. full stage – Presenting for the first time here her latest sketch, “A Strenuous Daisy”. There has not been an act of this kind in this house for years that went bigger than did this little play, the audience applauding while Miss Burkhart sttod [sic] waiting to make her speech at the close, for fully two minutes. I do not think her support was so bad as has been said by the managers of other houses, and, as a matter of fact, it is one a par, if not better, than that offered by a dozen others who receive more money. The audience seemed satisfied in every way, and I don’t see any sense in managers setting up a “holler” when those who pay money have no “kick” coming. If fault is to be found with any of Miss Burkhart’s support, it is with the young man who plainly overdoes the part of a newly married collegian, as he makes him a “cad” instead of the shamefaced coward the author intended. In the name part, Miss Burkhart gives us the best acting she has ever done since entering vaudeville.
18 min. in 1 – He went quite strong with the afternoon audience, but it was a rainy day gathering and not criterion for our regular patrons. He slung a lot of stuff at them that he claims he has been doing everywhere, but we have cut practically one-fourth of the material. It does not seem to me that he is furnishing much newer material than he offered a hald [sic] dozen years ago. We can do without him for as long a period as before.
30 min. full stage – Went stronger than at any time since they have opened, the audience applauding long after the curtain had gone down, and quite evidently wanting more of their music. There can be no possible doubt of their value in this house. Today they were on nearly an hour further down the bill than at any time before this season, but it is my opinion that they can “make good” anywhere they are placed.
12 min. full stage – The man is a capital comedy and trick bicyclist, and scored quite a hit. The woman does some artistic bag punching, and being of good personal appearance, and costumed neatly, also made a hit. The act is good enough for the 2 show sections.
15 min. open full stage, close in 1 – Two men and a woman, in a comedy, singing and dancing sketch. The act is pretty slow up to the point where they begin to dance, after which it goes quite strong, as all the members of the trio are good dancers. Makes a fair opening act.
A man and a woman in a comedy acrobatic act. The man being one of the original Borani Bros., and the woman the female member of the old 3 Nevarros act. The man is not at all offensive, and the woman is as dainty as she ever was when with the original team. It is a very clever act indeed and received a lot of applause. 12 minutes, full stage.
