The Vivians
Man and woman. F.S. with abundant special apparatus. Time 16. Highly interesting and amusing exhibition of sharpshooting. They have numerous “stunts” which bring rounds of applause. A decided hit.
T. Roy Barnes & Bessie Crawford
Open in C.D.F., close in 1. Time 19. Presenting their familiar act, “The Fakir and The Prima Donna.” Barnes continues his tactics of “kidding” the audience. Much that he says borders on indecency. Some had to be cut. Miss Crawford is pleasing ornamentation.
Elizabeth Murray
In 1. Time 14. A distinct success in Irish and Negro dialect songs.
Howard & Collinson Trio.
F.S. special. 2 men, 1 woman. Time 10. Presenting a “rough house”, but highly funny skit entitled, “A Piece of Dresden China”, in which, the woman, a very graceful dancer, plays a mechanical doll. There is a refreshing originality about even the broadest comedy which becomes open slap stick at times. The audience screamed with delight at times.
Sammy Burns & Alice Fulton
In 1. Time 14. A neat hardworking couple of pleasing appearance. Eccentric dancing very catchy and original. There is something decidedly distinctive about the act that makes it get over in great shape.
Kroneman Bros.
2 men. In 1. Time 10. Comedy acrobats, also head and hand balancers. Good straight work and good comedy finish.
Tasmanian Van Dieman Troupe
On at 4:24, 10 min. full stage. These six women acrobats are one of the liveliest companies we have had and make a splendid picturesque closing act.
Lillian Shaw
On at 4:08, 16 min. in 1. Miss Shaw has discarded all of her eccentric make up and makes several changes. Most of her stuff this afternoon was new and all of it was good. She held down this pot in good shape.
Beatrice Ingram
On at 3:49, 19 minutes full stage. Her sketch called “The Duchess” is one of the best comedy hits of this kind we have played in a long time.
Albert Chevalier
On at 3:20, 29 min. 1. Chevalier has changed a number of his songs this week, introducing two new one, “The Little Nipper” and a French burlesque. The latter is in decided contrast to anything he has previously done during this engagement and was very well received.
