The ‘Sal Skinner Girl.’ She does a very clever act after the order of ‘Sis Hopkins’ and went first rate although not strong enough really for the place I am giving her on the bill. I make the sacrifice however for the benefit of the show in its entirety which balances up better by placing her here. 10 min, in one, 3 shows.
Singing, dancing and banjo playing. This is a very clever little act the feature of which is the man’s dancing and playing the banjo at the same time. Clever three a day act. Valuable because it is entirely in one, and could stand a little lower in the bill. 15 min, in one, 3 shows.
Lady bag-puncher and man, tramp bicyclist. The comedy of this act is rather tame but the woman is very attractive and is quite skillful as a bag-puncher and the man does some pretty good trick bicycle riding. Good opening three a day act. 14 min, full stage, 3 shows.
In a Germany comedy sketch entitled ‘The Vaudeville Agent.’ I agree with the other houses that there is absolutely no merit in the act, but they make the audience scream is certainly a fact. Where was nothing but continual laughter while they were on. 24 min, full stage.
In their familiar act call the ‘Foot Ball Players and the Farmer.’ This is another team of old-timers who are really excellent. They created a lot of laughter this afternoon and the imitations of the comedian as the finish of their act were received with screams. 21 min, open full stage and close in one.
Comedy juggler. This young fellow has quite a good idea of comedy and is rather a clever juggler in his way. It is a question whether he will ever get out of the three-show class, but judged from that standpoint he does a pretty valuable act. The best part of it is the finish where he allows people in the audience to throw apples onto the stage while he attempts to catch them on the prongs of a fork held in his mouth. This is always sure to create a laugh. 20 min, open in full stage and close in one.
They are presenting a semi-comedy and melodramatic one act play entitled ‘Pals,’ which is splendidly constructed, bright in lines, beautiful stage setting and a clever interpretation by Mr. Davis and his players. The fight on the stairway is one of the most realistically places of acting we have ever seen and brings a climax which causes the audience to rise in their seats and applaud until the curtain is raised and lowered numerous times. It is our judgment that there is not a stronger offering in vaudeville today. Full stage.
Assisted by Miss Lilyan he presented a low comedy act full of laughable nonsense with some juggling and a little of everything and had the audience in an uproar all the time. Full stage and can close in one.
‘The Plumber.’ A good act, though the opening is rather tame, the finish is very strong. Miss Wallace is a handsome woman and dresses well. Sloan is an artist and an accomplished player, his German dialect is first class, and from the time he sits down to play cards it is one continuous applause to the finish. Full stage, 23 min.
‘All the World Loves a Lover.’ This is their second week and their sketch a most excellent one. As we said, last week, they are two admirable artists, they play this sketch to perfection, eliciting great applause. There are many strong points, and well brought out. Full stage, 24 min.
