12 mins. Landscape in 4. Comedy bar act. One man made up as rube, other as Chinaman. Comedy, fair; bar work, fair to good. Not an exceptionally strong two-a-day act. Good three-a-day.
15 mins. Open in one. Gar. In 3. Four little men, first time here. Same act as they have always presented, which is very good. Went well, and pleased throughout.
24 mins. C.D.F. in 3. In a “new sketch.” Work in an interior. The opening of the act for five minutes consists in talking to the orchestra leader, which is not at all interesting to the audience. Then they get to work, after a fashion, but all their work seemed to lack finish. We can agree with Boston’s comment last week, although Felix’s work gets some strong applause in spots.
15 mins. in one. He cut out some of his rougher talk and presented a very good monologue for our audience. The audience seemed to appreciate his peculiar style and delivery, and on the whole the act seemed to go very well.
12 mins. Pal. in 4. Her first songs were fearful – the worst we have ever had in this house. Her act improved as it progressed and the flip-flaps and the shutter dance at the close brought out enough applause to save the act from being an awful fall-down
14 mins. in one. Straight xylophone playing, received courtesy applause. After two or three numbers, the sameness of the music gets monotonous. Good act to fill in time. Received good hand at the close.
17 mins. in one. Two men, blackface comedians. Some of their talk and comedy is clever. Act is good throughout. Received many laughs. In spots, the act is very funny. Good three-a-day act.
14 min. in one. Man and woman, singing and dancing duo the woman making several changes of costume. Acceptable for the early bill
3 shows, 10 min. in 1. Hand balancers. These two young men give an interesting exhibition of strength and muscular developments, but the act is not in the class with LaVine and Cross. Went very well with a depleted audience
2 shows, 15 min. in 1. Vocal mimic. Same specialties he has been offering for 20 years. Went fair; not so well as the last time here
