2 shows, 11 min. full stage – In every way, I think, a better act than Sandow’s, as there is considerably novelty about the feats of strength he performs. Physically, he is a much better developed man than Sandow and has not yet become muscle bound, a the [sic] more famous performer. Would like to have him again.
3 shows, 8 min. in 1 – Has not changed materially since she “doubled” in vaudeville with her husband. She has only a fair amount of ability, either as a vocalist or recitationist [sic], and just pulls through. The time of her act is too short to be of any particular value.
Sketch “A High Toned Burglar”. They were booked to play their new Sketch, “Willie off the Yacht”, but were not ready for it, so the old sketch was played, and went just as strong as ever. Full stage. Time 29 minutes.
The Pajama Girl and the Dude. This act was here twice last season and gave entire satisfaction. It goes now just as strong as ever. They have some new songs, but close with the Pajama Girl song, which is always a hit. All in one. Time 14 minutes.
Equilibrist – This is an European act, and one of the vest best that we have ever had. His muscle display is wonderful he is very graceful in all his equilibristic work, and received a very generous applause. Full stage. Time 12 minutes:
He is working in white face this week on account of two other black face acts being on the bill. Act is going very strong. His stuff is good and for the most part new and is well delivered. One of the hits of the show. 28 min. in one.
In their black face dancing specialty. Use their own watermelon drop. Act is going very well indeed. Primrose gets a strong reception at each performance and the audience are loath to let him go. He is obliged to make a speech at nearly every show. 14 min. F.S.
Comedy acrobats. This is the first time here for this act, and it is going very strong. The portion of the act in which they use the invisible wire is well done and made a decided hit. 16 mins. F.S. open half minutes in one.
Comedy cyclists. Now days bicycle acts have got to be really great or they are nothing, and while these fellows do some things that a few years ago might have been considered wonderful they are by no means up to the time now. The comedy work is very ordinary and they do no very startling tricks on the wheels. From a standpoint of two shows and salary, fairly good, is the best I can give them. 15 min. full stage.
This act has played over the circuit before and does not need discussion. I do not think he is worth what he is getting and is not strong enough for the place I am obliged to give him on the bill, although he must still be reckoned as a good act. Opens and closes in one, the middle of his act being in two. 20 min. 2 shows.
