F.S. woods. Time 9. Woman who does a little good work. Man assistant. Robledillo does an incredible series of fancy and humorous “gaits” on the semi-slack wire. These include a drunken reel which is a scream. A big feature for any bill.
In 1. Time 19. Some new songs and some old favorites. A big hit. Dancing about the same. He closed with a brief monologue which is fair. This was given after long applause.
Man and boy. Time 10. Hand to hand work—very good and mostly original. The boy plays, as an interpolation, the violin well and in trick positions. Neat and fast with the boy the big feature.
Time 10. Eight well matched and attractive girls. Most of them dance well although there are evidently one or two new ones which caused several embarrassments Monday matinee. Their ensembles are pretty and lively and their groupings picturesque. They need a few week more practice before they will be working as they should.
In 1. New songs and costumes with the exception of her two types of college girls which went big. Time 21. Cut “I’m not that kind of girl.”
Time 22. C.D.F. “Mrs Murphy’s Second Husband.” Many good lines at first, then the whole thing lags. The sketch itself is poor, although Emmett’s Irish characterization is fine. In all 2 men, 2 women.
2 men. Open F.S. palace. Close in 1. Time 19. They appear with 20 banjos decorating the stage. They begin with novelty trick playing while juggling their instruments finally working up to six banjos in action. They close with legitimate playing—very fine. Generous applause throughout.
Man and woman. Open F.S. spec plush b.d. Close in 1. The man does some original and highly difficult trick roller skating. The girl gives one great song a la Eddie Leanard and gets a big hand. Finally she joins man in roller skating and they close with a rattling jig on their skates. Time 15. Quiet and effective.
A remarkable chimpanzee who presents a series of tricks that are so human as to be almost startling. While there was no great applause through the act it was apparent that the audience was thoroughly interested, and at the finish she was given a good solid round of applause. I believe she will create a great deal of talk and have a tendency to draw them in. 16 minutes, C.D.F. in 3.
In a one-act comedy, “A Fool’s Errand”. A good low comedy offering which seemed to please them all the way through, but for some reason or another didn’t draw as strong as last year. They were entirely satisfactory, however, and got away with it very nicely. 25 minutes, C.D.F, in 3.
