NH 3. Card and coin manipulator. Quite clever in a small way. Not much of a talker. Has some good tricks, but was a bit nervous today. We had to place him here, for in the mix-up we went shy on acts in one. Good three show act. 18 mins. in one.
HR 2. Comedy sketch “The Plumber.” Has a new woman in the place of Yolande Wallace. A little improvement. Sloan is always good, which is more than can eer be said of his support. Act went well today, with plenty of laughter and some applause. 20 mins. C.D.F. in 3.
GHR 2. Man, woman and boy, comedy sketch without a name. The kid is quite clever, and the act would not amount to much without him. It is not an exceptionally good act, but got some laughs. Should be placed early in the two show section. 22 mins. C.D.F. in 3. Close in one.
GHR 2. Man and woman, comedy acrobatic act. Some of the comedy very good. Woman does her share of the work, which is unusual. Good act. Received a good hand at the close. 11 mins. Horizon in 4.
NH 3. Girl doing a Dutch character act, the wooden shoes being one of the features. Some of her attempts at comedy are pathetic. She received very little applause on her singing and dancing. Her jokes fell flat. 7 mins. in one
NH 3. Man and woman. Colored team, the man doing the comedy and the woman acting as the feeder. Singing, dancing and jokes. All right (for the salary) for a place in the three show section, if on very early. 15 mins. in one.
GYH 3. Three men, singing and talking comedy sketch. Comedy and singing just fair. Got by with a little applause in the opening spot. Fair act. 18 mins. Gar. in 5.
In “From ‘Zaza’ to ‘Uncle Tom’”. This is unquestionably the funniest sketch I ever saw and from the way the audience ‘howled’ they seemed to fully agree with me. 25 min. open with about 5 min. in one, close full stage, 2 shows.
[Imitation] This man did much better than I expected. Of course, he hasn’t Henry Lee’s finish or personality but he has a very pretentious act and he gets away with his stuff in good style. He made quite a hit this afternoon. 18 min. full stage, 2 shows.
Songs and stories. It is natural to suppose that Mr. Nicander would go very big here still I am inclined to think that he will make good for the salary he gets, anywhere. He is a clean-cut, neat appearing, good-looking fellow, with a more than ordinary good Baritone voice. He sings a couple of songs in an attractive manner, and he has some very funny talk about an automobile. The first part of his act opens quietly but if put on form 8 to 8:30 it will go thoroughly all right and shall make good for the salary he gets. 16 min. in one, 2 shows.
