18 min. full stage—The laughing hit of the programme. Their work has not changed any since they were here last, and in the interim we have had some people who have scored laughs by breaking crockery in larger quantities, but there two are the originals and their work always stands out by contrast with their imitators. It is worth more every time it returns which can be said of but very few acts.
39 min. full stage—The big hit of the show. He first exhibited his muscular development, in the same fashion in which he has always opened his act, being applauded heartily all through, and then proceeded to give his talk on physical development, which he illustrated with two human subjects. This part of his act is not only exceptionally interesting but in a way it was one of the comedy hits of the show. Sandow’s dialect is certainly better that that of the majority of German comedians, and the subject he used to illustrate the difference in development was so bad although a good looking chap, that the audience went into spasms over the contrast. Sandow did his usual routine of tricks, concluding with a spectacular finish. It is a great act, and I look for all sorts of business when people get to talking about it.
16 min. in 1—Monologue comedienne, and an exceptionally clever one at that. I thought at the outset she was going to prove a failure but was agreeably disappointed for she held her audience to the close, and they gave every indication of wanting more.
28 min. full stage—Presenting for the first time here their new comedy, “61 Prospect Street”, which is one of the very best things of the kind ever done in this house. It has a new twist of the mistaken identity idea, which is cleverly carried out, and splendidly acted.
9 min. in 2—Presenting a spectacular dancing act, something like that done by Adele Purvis Onri, but not so clever as the latter. Pictures were thrown on expanded draperies, some of which I cut out.
14 min. open 3, close in 1—A very poor act. If they confined themselves to singing it would not be so bad, but they tried to introduce comedy of which neither are capable. I will bury it for the balance of the week.
Do not regard the sketch as very strong, but the fact that he was for several seasons a favorite member of a local stock company gave him a tremendous reception and he will draw money all week. He is a good actor. Full stage.
They presented the “Jolly Jollier” and I guess they will never secure a worthy successor to “Tactics”. This sketch is not particularly good, but Barrows himself is always a fine actor and would redeem and save almost anything. Full stage.
This act created the most intense interest, contained the best novelty, some comedy and at its finish the people seemed to go wild as they were sure it was a figure until she revealed herself. This is the only person doing the mechanical figure work entitles to consideration. Full stage.
They presented Japanese operetta “Little Pee Weet”. The singing and piano was very much enjoyed and act would be an improvement by omitting any attempt at comedy. Full stage.
