– YHR 22. A man and woman in a crazy comedy act, entitled “The Doings of Johnny Jones.” This is practically the same turn that they did here before, the feature of it being George Felix’s silence and fun work, and some rather funny conversation and situations while they are seated on a sofa. Miss Barry was in god voice and the act went very strong. 23 minutes, full stage.
NH 2. A young woman in a turn of monologues and songs. Miss Bernard is rather a pleasing young woman, and while her monologue does not amount to very much she gets away with it fairly well, and closes nicely with some songs which made quite a hit this afternoon. She should be on about 2 and about 8, in order to get the full benefit of her act. 13 minutes in one.
GHR 22. Two young men in a musical comedy act, one of them working straight and the other as a Dutch comedian. He is not a very good comedian, but he is not at all offensive, and their music partakes largely of novelty. They carry a special set cottage over which is running vines of roses apparently, but which are really sleighbells, and which they play quite effectively. They also have a large number of flower pots on the stage which they play while apparently watering them and which makes a big hit. They have an artificial pear tree, playing on the pears, which they reach as though in the act of gathering them. They close with an imitation f a Dutch band. Considered from the standpoint of a novelty, it is a very pleasing act. 18 minutes, open full stage, and close in one.
KR 3. In an eccentric, comedy, and dancing act. They have been over the circuit so recently that comment on their ability is unnecessary. The principal feature of the act is Milt Wood dancing which I personally think is quite close to John Ford. 15 minutes, open in 2 and close in 1.
HR 3. This is a little Japanese performer in about as clever an equilibristic act as I have ever seen. Some of his feats of balancing have never been surpassed on this stage, and he will be a useful act whenever and wherever it will be possible to use a turn of this kind. 11 minutes, full stage.
HR 3. Monologue comedian. Lester has never been particularly strong in this house, but he went better this afternoon than I have ever known him to do. His stories while none of them new but he has a pleasing personality and his impersonation of George Cohan was really about as natural as anything that I have ever seen, and carried him off to a big round of applause. 14 minutes in one.
NR 3. Two colored men in a trick and comedy roller skating act. It has been so long since we have had anything in the shape of roller skating that the act really seemed something of a novelty. One of the men is very clever on the skates, and the other is pretty fair comedian and manages to extract considerable laughter from his work. It is a good turn. 12 minutes, full stage.
Hr 3 [?] Two young men in a club juggling act, one of them working straight, the other made up eccentric comedy style. The comedian does not amount to very much, but they do the average club juggling tricks in a very acceptable manner. It is a pleasing opening act. 11 minutes, open full stage, and close in one.
“Two football players and the Farmer”. This is an excellent acrobatic act. There has been no new business introduced, since the first time it was presented here, but nevertheless it made good. 9 mins. F.S.
Three men and two women in a bare stage act entitled “Her Last Rehearsal”. The work of McCord himself is excellent but little can be said for his company. The playlet has good situations and on the whole it was diverting. 27 mins. F.S.
