In “The Suit Case”. Two women, one man, two boys. This set is quick and lively, on the Georgia Cohan style of construction, having an abundance of action and plenty of laughter. It moves very rapidly and held the attention of the audience throughout. There is sufficient plot to the sketch to keep the interest up and it went very well throughout. They do a finish in one in which four of the members of the company do some dancing and singing. While far fetched this finish is very good for the set and they left the stage amidst liberal and genuine applause. The set is very good. Open C.D.F., close in 1—22 minutes.
“The Jovial Jester”. He has a repertoire of songs and talk all of which went unusually well, and up to this point he was as big, if not a bigger hit than anything on the bill. Made an excellent impression and finished unmistakably well. 21 minutes, street in 1.
Singers and dancers. Two rather clever young girls who introduce a number of songs with costume change for each. Their work was fairly good and the went moderately well. 11 minutes, olio in 1.
A number of very well trained Fox Terriers, man doing acrobatic work, women assisting. Very pretty little act which went fairly well. Garden in 4, 9 minutes.
“The girls are small, very agile, and pretty, and they turn cartwheels, do somersaults, high kicks and jumps, and pinwheels, as well as ballet steps, solo and ensemble numbers. They are very simply gowned in white, with pink tights, but the act does not need dressing to carry it.”
“In the new number a setting represents the main corner at Hicksville, with a police station and firehouse on opposite sides of the street. In the center is a warning to automobiles to ‘Go Slow or Go To Jail’. The curtain lifting reveals early dawn, with the lights well handled until day arrives.”
The critic commends Reynard’s extensive, immersive set: “He uses a full stage with a very picturesque back, showing a country landscape, with hills stretching away in the vista. The opening is dark, with a moonlight effect, the glistening water of a river reflecting the moon’s rays. An automobile is seen in the distance, slowly passing the horizon, its searchlight throwing a glare ahead of it. […] Mr Reynard is in the driver’s seat, a dummy of a bull-dog beside him, a dummy of a colored boy on the step, and a dummy of a woman in the rumbler seat.”
