“The Lunatics.” 9 min. F.S. This is a good opening act, having made good before in this house. Do some very good eccentric dancing and acrobatic work, and wind up with the “strong man” burlesque with the invisible wire. Good applause.
Six exceedingly clever acrobats, four men, two women. There is a lot of style and finish to their feats, each and all of which are performed with the greatest dexterity. One woman in particular borders on the marvelous. The act went well all the way through and finished strong. 8 minutes, palace set in 5.
In “Clancy’s Ghost”. This popular Hibernian duo hadn’t any trouble at all in making themselves the laughing hit of the show, their act being almost a continuous scream form beginning to end. 22 minutes, C.D.F., close in 1.
This well known prima donna got along very nicely but did not prove a big hit at either the afternoon or night performance. She is the possessor of an unusually good voice and her gowns are exceedingly tasteful and pretty. She got along very nicely, however, and proved thoroughly acceptable. 15 minutes, olio in 1.
In “A Picture of Dorian Gray””, a high class dramatic sketch by Oscar Wilde. This act is provided with a very elaborate and beautiful setting which in itself at the rise of the curtain received a round of applause. The story of the piece is involved, and I believe that while it gained the attention of the audience it went over the heads the major portion thereof. The work of the three players interpreting the piece was excellent and the act finished moderately strong. Typical act in 4, 25 minutes.
Same efficient ventriloquist of yore. Held the attention of the audiences all the way through and finished strong. 28 minutes, C.D.F.
Man and woman in a comedy singing, talking and dancing act. None of their stuff went very well at either the afternoon or evening performances, and they just about got by. There was no demonstration of approval at the finish, although they won some laughs during the presentation of the act. 16 minutes, street in 1.
Two young men, one young woman in a novelty acrobatic act, “Hotel Turnover”. A very excellent act in which the work of the three performers is very interesting and very capably performed. The act made a distinct hit, receiving applause all the way through and finishing strong. 8 minutes, D.C.D.
“The New Coachman”. Same old act but it went all right and we are entirely satisfied in having it on the bill this week. Full stage.
A splendid dancing act hard to beat. In one.
