Ventriloquist. Garden 4, 17 min. A man who displays great ventriloqual [sic] ability and his line of talk enables him to make his work interesting. While we secured him only in time for our supper show his presentation gained him applause from the few auditors here at the time. His work will fill him nicely by closing in one. He has an act which may be valuable to us this week.
Drapery in one, 10 min. Miss King in this position failed to draw satisfactory applause from her auditors and did not seem to have the power to interest them satisfactorily. Her line of talk got some laughs and earned her a fair amount of applause but it is this position in the bill which is too much for her.
Wood in 4, 5 min. Everhart gained the first reception of the day and by his rapid and clever work and the assistance of two able property men gained applause throughout all of his show. His work with the hoops was very good and takes all others performing along this line to appear the most amateurish of amateurs. 2 shows.
CDF, 23 min, 5 min in one. The musical work was not very well received and the interest of the audience was not very great until Miss Fuller played the harp aided by her singing clever and late songs with a voice that had the ability to interest and which was very pleasing to her Auditors and brought from them considerable applause. The balance of the act went exceedingly well and enabled them to close and strong. 2 shows.
Garden in 4, 8 min. Opening with muscular posing which earned his a slight hand from which he progressed to bag punching feats. Unfortunately for him he followed the Royce Brothers to closely and his feats did not ellicit [sic] any amount of applause. In this position he is wrongly placed and we have exchanged him for Mitchell from the new house. 3 shows.
Drop in one, 11 min. Local boy and girl not more than 12 or 14 years of age. The pair were somewhat nervous during the first show and did not do themselves the justice we expected of them and know they can do. The dancing of the pair earned them stronger applause at the finish and in this position the act will be fully satisfactory. 3 shows.
In their familiar act ‘Quo Vadis Upside Down.’ While the act is unquestionably very funny it has become very stale, and does not go as strong as formerly. I shall have to cut them out until they give us something new. 18 min, open in one, close full stage, 2 shows.
Impersonations of well known Actresses and Actors given costume. Biograph pictures of him making changes in the dressing room being shown while he is changing costumes. As he is a little fellow and attractive together with the novelty of the Biograph pictures the act goes first rate especially with the ladies but to my mind it does not contain a great deal of actual merit. I would not care for it again for a while any way. 21 min, in one, 2 shows.
This act was described by Boston last week and to my mind the young man is very clever. He didn’t seem to reach the crowd this afternoon due, I think, to the fact, that the audience are not familiar with characters he impersonates. 12 min, in one, 2 shows.
2 shows, 15 min, full stage. Pantomimic gymnasts, with special stage setting, representing an artist’s studio. One of the men makes up a maid servant and the other as an artist. Their work in not extraordinary, but considerable of a novelty, and for that reason went better than would otherwise have been the case in the place of the bill. Their acrobatic stunts were discounted by those of the Sisters Gousch, with whom they will be exchanged in the evening show.
