Irving Jones
(Colored). Coon shouter. He sings Irish and Coon songs, and has funny jokes. A good act, and made a decided hit. All in one. Time 14 minutes
Bellman & Moore
“Love in a Photograph Gallery”. They have played this sketch here before; it goes just as well as ever. We consider it a good act. They aught to be placed farther down the bill, both are capable artists and always make good where-ever placed. Full stage. Time 25 minutes.
Marlo & Aldo
Gymnasts. This is a horizontal bar act, and a good one. Both men are very clever and held the audience. Full stage. Time 11 minutes.
Staley & Birbeck
A musical transformation act which they have been doing for many years, and which is well known, and much overpaid. Went very well. Full stage. Time 10 minutes.
Picollo’s Midgets
This is the best Lilliputian act of the whole lot. They do some really clever acrobatic work, heavy lifting, their comedy is good, and their wrestling bout at the finish is very strong. They open with 2 minutes in one and close full stage. Entire act 14. 2 shows.
Hal Stephens
Impersonator of noted actors, vaudeville and legitimate, introduced with special scenic and lighting effects on the same style as his old act but in rather better form. He made good to the fullest extent, this afternoon. 25 min. open in one, long enough to set his act, if the preceding set is not too elaborate, close full stage, 2 shows
Four Huntings
This is a good act of the crazy variety. They do some very good tumbling and some rather good dancing. It is a bing-bang and slap-stick sketch and if not put on too late on the bill ought to make good thoroughly. I have them on at 2:53 and 8:13 in which position they are thoroughly all right. Good though not great, act. 18 min. open full stage, close in one, 2 shows.
Alfonso
Trapezist. This man was certainly a surprise to me, and I presume to everyone else. Never saw such balancing in my life. Stands on his head on a trapeze swinging at full force. His act is certainly thrilling one and the audience were quick to appreciate it. 8 min. full stage, 2 shows.
Van Fossen & McCauley
Black-face talking, singing and dancing act, peculiar style of eccentric dancing being the feature of their work. Good three a day turn. 17 min. in one, 3 shows.
Christian and Turner
3 shows, 12 min. full stage. Colored foot cyclists, one working straight and the other burlesque. It is a capital turn for this part of the bill, as it is impossible to have anything but a “sight” act follow the biograph, so many people leave the theatre in the afternoon. This is an act tried out here originally, and from a 3-a-day standpoint it is thoroughly all right.
