Katherine Nelson and Elizabeth Otto
Time 17. In 1. Pianiste and character comedienne. (Dutch and child.) They work along their original lines, and are just as pleasing as formerly.
The Lawlors
Man, 2 women. Time 20. In 3 spec. They present character types, Italian, Scotch, tramp and Irish, with a rapidity that approached the protean class. Their songs are very clever and splendidly done. They have a distinct flavor of the English music halls in mannerisms. Went strongly.
Charles Leonard Fletcher
Open in C.D.F. Close in 1. Time 22. This artist’s excellent work in maturing season after season. He has new features. Held the audience spellbound throughout.
Doris Wilson
In 1. Time 10. Gowns, fine; voice, good; comedy, frightful. As a straight singer she could probably get by in good shape. As a “singing comedienne” she is very poor.
Hayward & Hayward
Man and woman. Time 16. Interior in 3. They present a sketch of the hardships of actors out of work. Most of the lines are very bright, and the situations bring screams. A few of the lines are rather too technical to get over. There is a great amount of originality. Well acted.
“Chalk” Saunders
In 1. Time 7. Caracaturist [sic]. Mr Saunders gets away from the beaten path of “speed cartoonists”. His drawings combine fun and cleverness. Well received.
Max York’s Fox Terriers
Man, woman, 8 dogs. Time, 9. In 3 Garden. Acrobatic canine tricks, some new. The finish in which the bulldog “impersonates” well known men and types is a big hit.
Royal Japanese Troupe
21 min. F.S. This is a superb closing act. The Japs do not only the feats that the other Jap acts have made familiar to American audiences, but several that are new, and some of them positively thrilling. Sometimes as many as four different feats are being performed at the same time. These consists in [sic] double slack-wire work, foot juggling, ground tumbling and work on the high pole and balancing bar. The child acrobat got especially big applause with each feat.
Jack Wilson Trio
28 min. in one. Their usual lively singing and conversational act. Introduced some new material, including some local gags that went big. The travesties on Tanguay and others made a particular hit. Closed in a riot of fun, and speech was compelled by the crowd.
Van Biene
18 min. in 1 ½. Advance applause. This master of the cello has lost none of his dexterity and sweetness of tone with advancing years. The audience liked him from the first hand gave each one of his selections a strong hand. At the finish he was compelled to play “Home Sweet Home” as an encore.
