2 shows 15 min, in 1. Singing and talk comedian, possessing a splendid baritone voice, which experiences in opera has taught him to use to the best advantage. His songs were all above the average merit, and his stories capital and well told. He went quite strong with the audience, who laughed at his yarns and applauded his songs.
2 shows, 12 min, in 1. This man, so far as makeup is concerned, is the best female impersonator whom we have ever played here, and wore a stunning gown. His singing voice is not so good as that of others, but he had them guessing as to his identity until he gave vent to a masculine note. Will be all right for the balance of the circuit.
2 shows, 8 min in 1. Operatic prima donna, singing the better class of ballads. Her voice is beginning to show the ravages of years of hard work, and is not comparable with what it was when she last sang here, as a member of a quartet. Her selections were all right, however, Miss Lamont, who sang here last week, is the better of the two.
‘Our Honeymoon.’ A very strong sketch, and finely acted, both are accomplished players, and created great applause. They will remain with us another week, but in a different sketch. Full stage, 23 min.
In Dances of All Nations. This is their first opening, having just arrived from Europe. They are most excellent dancers, and the act goes with style and finish. Their imitations of the different styles of National dancing, being very good. A good act. Full stage, 10 min.
2 shows, 23 min, full stage. Presenting for the first time here a new one-act play called ‘The Yellow Dragon,’ which is claimed to be founded on an actual incident in the late Chinese uprising. It was capitally stage[sic], and splendidly acted by the principals and their support, and held the undivided attention of the audience from start to finish. It is a mixture of comedy and melodrama, and is decidedly an acquisition to vaudeville.
2 shows, 16 min in 1. One of the best highclass [sic] entertainers who has appeared here for some time. He makes a specialty of speeches of famous actors, among them Mansfield, Goodwin, Henry Lee and DeWolfe Hopper, and imitations of George Cohan and Joe Welch. His mimicry in voice and action is wonderfully lifelike.
2 shows, 11 min in 1. Soprano singer of local prominence, being the widow of a deceased merchant and society man, who met with business reverses, a short time before his demise. She lacks magnetism, and her voice, though well trained, is metallic and does not cover a very wide range. She had several friends in the audience and will draw throughout the week, but I do not think she would be successful elsewhere.
3 shows, 17 min, in 3. Presenting a character change comedy sketch, which was received with exceptional laughter, especially provoked by the woman’s ludicrous burlesque make up as a servant girl. It was probable the best place they have ever had in any of our bills and they made good.
Drapery in one. 13 min. Woman of very pleasing appearance with considerable vocal ability which gained a good bit of applause. The 2 Pickaninnies are hardly up to the standard set by Pickaninnies along this line of work and for this reason she did not close as strongly as her first appearance indicated she would. 2 shows.
