Edmond and Lee
Coloured Entertainers. This is a good three a day act, They both have good voices, and went very well this afternoon. 16 minutes in one. Three shows.
Alexis & Schall
‘The Happy Pair.’ Man and woman in a crazy singing and dancing act. This is a good three a day act. They are both good dancers, and have fairly good voices. The man is a very good contortionist. Went very well. 11 minutes in two. Three shows.
Alvin Bros.
Comedy Ring Act. Two men, one working straight and the other eccentric. This is a fair act, and it is all right to open the show. The straight man does some good work on the rings, and the comedian is only fair. Went fair. 10 minutes, full stage, Three shows.
The Zamnettos
Three men made up as Japs Juggling balls, knives, fire brands ect. Rapid workers. Secured quite a number of laughs by the apple catching on the style of the Pelots. Finished strong. 13 min. full stage.
Paul Conchas
An excellent closing feature. Conchas certainly does some remarkable work and pleases his audience from the start. The general routine remains about the same as when here before. The comedy of the man is greatly improved and scored many laughs. Spontaneous applause from all parts of the house. The best closing act we ever had. 24 min, F stage.
Gus Edwards’ School Boys & Girls
The last time we played this act he had seven girls and six boys and the price was $125 less. Today the act is presented with 5 girls and 4 boys at $125 more. Next season we will get the same [sic] of Gus Edwards only, with any boys & girls. At the Matiness the house was filled with the usual musical [sic] publishers pluggers and every number was encored, even ‘School Days.’ 26 min.
Mr. & Mrs. Sydney Drew & Co.
Presenting the comedy ‘Billy’s Tombstones.’ We will have to endorse the general opinion that this one of the best comedies ever seen in vaudeville. It was one continual laugh from beginning to end. An excellent vehicle. 25 min. in full stage.
Murray Sisters
Two rather good looking young ladies, who present a very neat singing act. Both have good voices and are nicely gowned. The comedy selection of the contralto went very big. Very pleasing act. 16 min.
Mayme Gehrue & Co.
Giving us for the first time the Ed. Day playlet ‘June.’ Miss Gehrue has surrounded herself with an excellent company, and while she will never be an actress, her voice always pitched to strident key, the act is good and pleasing all the way. 30 min. FS.
Willis & Hassan
Equilibrists. Two men. This act scored a [sic] heavily as anything of a similar character that has ever played in this house. They do work that is all good and they do it about as easily and in as finished a manner as could be desired. Notwithstanding the fact that the show is a trifle long, they held the interest from the first to the last of their work and many punctuations of applause was given them for their efforts. There is nothing ordinary about them and unlike many performers in their line they neither pose or ‘fourflush.’ There is something doing all of the time they are on the stage. 11 minutes, palace 5.
