Vocalist. 13 min. in 1. 2 shows. ON at 8:43. Big advance hand. Makes a very stunning picture in a beautiful gown. Sings with great brilliancy, sympathy and charm. Each one of her songs got a tremendous hand, particularly that of “Cavalleria Rusticana”, which fairly brought an ovation. Closed very strong indeed. Miss Frederick will certainly pull business to the house this week.
25 min. F.S. close in 1. 2 shows. On at 8:18. The same as given here before with the introduction of some new songs and general improvement in the cast. The close in 1, with the “Hurdy-Gurdy” son was particularly lively and bright. Went off to big finish with two encores. A valuable act as it now stands, for it does not make the advertising of a music-publishing house so palpable as before. Miss Leon is A.1. as the monitor.
IN a series of sprightly songs and dances. This is one of the daintiest little singing and dancing acts we have had, and held the audience until close of show, although we were running fully twelve minutes late. The act is in four scenes with very dainty scenery and costumes and had a corking good finish. 22 minutes. Open in one, then to four then two close full stage. A very good act. 22 minutes.
Phenomenal boy pianist. For a straight piano act in one, this boy certainly makes good. I think he has the right idea in playing both popular and classical stuff, thereby pleasing lovers of both kinds of music. Played four numbers to hearty applause and had to play an encore. 17 minutes in one.
Presenting “Kemp’s Tales of the Wild.” Mrs. Kemp is the lecturer and has a fairly good delivery. They use the Stereopticon with a few motion pictures to show the Indian dance. The slides are nicely colored with splendid electrical effects. The lecture is very interesting, and while it finished to only fair applause, I presume it will go much better tonight. 18 min.
Act is too well known for comment. These men thought they were on a roof garden, and yelled so loud that they could be heard four blocks. No use in trying to argue with them about it, for they know it all. Drop in one. 14 minutes.
The Tramp Juggler. He sings some parodies and tells some jokes, all of which were bordering on the suggestive. This is no surprise, as he generally follows as close to the dead line as he dare. During his juggling he continually roasted the audience, because it was stingy with applause. Drop in two Close in one. 19 minutes
Good act. The girl with the Violin made a tremendous hit, also the whistling girl. The dancing does not amount to much, and the electrical effects are very pretty and got big applause. 22 minutes, full stage.
Englishman on slack wire with dummy on his back that he uses to good effect for Ventriloquial stunts. His individual work on the wire is great, and some of it is unique. His still walking and playing the Mandolin at the same time made a big hit. Also his balancing lighted lamp on one foot and playing the Mandolin. A picturesque and novel act that would go anywhere. Biggest applause I have ever heard for an act of this kind. 12 minutes, full stage.
Man and woman in “The Lady Burglar.” Man is a good dancer, and got a good hand. The woman’s change to the male Burglar is good, and the dialogue got good laughs in spots. Very good three show act, and could stand a better place. 18 minutes, full stage.
