Clark & Florette
AR 3. A man and a woman in a neat singing and dancing act. They are both quite clever dancers, and the man sings a couple of coon songs especially well. This is a very good three-show-a day turn. 12 minutes in one.
Rastus & Banks
KR 3. A colored man and a woman in the same sort of an act that they have done here before. The woman is not very much, but Rastus is probably the best coloured acrobat in the country. 11 minutes, open in 2, close in 1.
Lavine & Leonard
KR 3. Comedy jugglers. This is a very good act considered from a three-show-a-day standpoint, both men make up eccentric, and one man makes his entrance in a crazy sort of an automobile. They do about the regulation of tricks of all comedy jugglers but have quite a lot of funny work with the auto by the aid of which they close very strong. 14 minutes, full stage.
Annie Abbott
Whatever business the show draws us this week it will be more due to the act of this girls than to all of the other acts combined. Her act was certainly a marvelous one and gave great satisfaction. 22 min. full stage, 2 shows.
Orpheus Comedy Four
Personally, I don’t care anything about these acts and I don’t think our average audience cares for that sort of slapstick comedy which is not very good and their singing only acceptable. They went pretty well this afternoon but I think we had a very easy audience as there is no school this week and there were a great many school children and young people in, with whom they found favor. 15 min. in 1, 2 shows.
Romani Trio
This is something of a novelty in the way of brass wind instruments. They dress neatly and the women are rather good looking and their music is quite acceptable. 11 min. open full stage, short close in one, 2 shows.
O’Rourke & Burnett Trio
This is the usual dancing act of O’Rourke & Burnett’s with the addition of their little boy who is the feature of the turn, and on his account they make quite a hit. 20 min. in one, 3 shows.
Miett’s Dogs
This is a very nice little dog act about the same as the usual dog act doing three shows. He has a nice neat apparatus and the dogs are bright and altogether they make good. 15 min. full stage, 3 shows.
Christian & Turner
Two coloured men who do a rolling-skate act, one of them doing comedy. The straight man is very good, in a small way, the comedian amounts to nothing. The act is a good one for an early place on the bill. 12 min. full stage, 3 shows.
Digby Bell
15 mins. in one. Told some stories and sang “Hurrah for the Boys in Blue,” or something like that. Received courtesy applause on his entrance, and was listened to respectfully. He will be shifted with Sallie Stembler for the balance of the week. As a drawing card his name is good. The finish to his act went extremely well, and on the whole he made good
