Sketch. “The arrival of Kitty McCarty”. Two men and woman in a comedy sketch. McCabe and Sabine are good comedians, and Miss Vera is a good dancer; there are some funny situations. The act went great here. Carry their own scenery. Full stage, close in one. Time 25 minutes.
GRR-I put this woman in this afternoon in the place of Nora Bayes, who was sick and unable to open, and the improvement in her work is something wonderful. She followed a very strong act and made a distinct hit. She is a very clever singer and has evidently been studying closely since she last appeared here. 9 minutes in one.
YRR-Man and woman in a dancing and comedy sketch. This act is too well known to require any comment whatever, and it went exceptionally strong in this place in the bill. The last time I had them here they were down quite late in the afternoon and did not make as good as I felt that they should do. I agree with Boston that it is necessary for this act to have a place in order to get the benefit of its full value, and they had it this afternoon, being on about 3 o’clock. Very strong. 24 minutes; full stage.
GYH-This man comes nearer to being to being a second J. W. Kelly than any performer in his line whom I have ever seen, and he makes no pretense whatever of imitating Kelly, which is strongly in his favor. He tells a lot of very good stories in an Irish dialect and tells them well and he went strong this afternoon. 15 minutes in one.
GNH-Assisted by George Linderman, in a comedy sketch entitled “The Editor”. The sketch itself is a clever one, and the only trouble with the act is that Miss Osterman does not bring the right man to play with her. He is not in any sense had neither is he very good, consequently the act can only be called good when with a capable man it would be very good. 20 minutes; full stage.
GHR- Man and woman in an eccentric singing, dancing and comedy act, the eccentricity of the man and the vivacity of the woman makes this act go exceptionally strong. They are both good dancers and they are quite good acrobats, and they certainly reach the audience in this house every time they appear here. 14 Mins. Open full stage, close 1:
ER-This is a one-legged performer who does some exceptionally clever acrobatic work, the only trouble with his act being that it is so short that he does not assist much in filling the time of the bill, he is very clever, however, especially in his balancing and jumping while clinging to a pole. 7 mins. Open full stage, close with very short encore in one.
SR-Clay modeler. There isn’t a great deal of difference in any of these acts, and this fellow seems to be about as good as the average, in fact, in a sense, there is a little novelty to his act in that he departs from the usual idea of making nothing but faces, and finishes his turn by modeling a piece of statuary. Act can be classed as good. 11 minutes; can work in one or two.
11 min. in 1—This girl is a vocalist who sang here two years ago, and I put her in to fill out the place made vacant by Josephine Sabel, who was prevented from appearing through illness. Miss LeFavour is quite an attractive singer and will be given a fairly good place in the bill tomorrow.
23 min. full stage- Presenting a new and original farcical sketch, “An Uptown Flat”, which made a big laughing hit with the “supper-time” audience. The “company” is not as good as formerly but that makes little difference as the piece practically plays itself. It is the best 3-a-day comedy act that has ever been played in vaudeville.
