Robert De Mont Trio
This is an acrobatic act which nicely served the purpose in opening one of the best, if not the very best, bills of the season. F.S.
Four Melody Monarchs
17 minutes full stage. Although the singer has a bad cold and is very hoarse, still the act went big, and each of their numbers scored heavily.
Marion Murray & Co.
23 minutes full stage. “The Prima Dona’s Honeymoon,” a good and well acted comedy sketch, telling a consistent story in a farcical manner that is highly pleasing. One of the best sketches of the season for us.
Princess Miroff
13 minutes in one. Own plush drop. A very attractive looking woman, with pretty costumes who has a nice voice and a good Russian dance finish that goes very well. Good act for any house.
Lady Leighton
7 minutes full stage. This little lady makes a good appearance and does a splendid trapeze act.
Rose Pitonof
Notwithstanding our having played all of the other swimming and diving acts, Miss Pitonof gained the attention of the house from the outset and held it until the finish. Liberal applause after quite a number of her tricks and a good solid round at the finish, indicating the act was well liked. Special set in 5, 11 minutes.
Gordon & Marx
German comedians of the Kelb & Bill order. Introduce a lot of tangled conversation which seemed to go very well. Won a liberal lot of laughter and finished strong. Street in 1, 16 minutes.
Rothwell Browne
Impersonator, introducing “The Belle of the Broadway Show”, “The Pantaloon Girl” and the Dancing Maid”, each of which numbers pleased to a moderate extent. The act finishes with a dancing creation entitled “The Serpent of the Nile.” This is the Cleopatra story and wonderfully well presented. The scenic equipment is elaborate, the costuming very pretty and the lighting effects appropriate. The dance itself acquired and held the closest attention the audience throughout, the finale of the dance being particularly strong and making all in all a very successful number. The act must be accounted a wined and it is one that should create a deal of talk. 21 minutes; opens special set in 2, closes special in 4.
Valerie Bergere’s Players
One woman, two men, presenting “What Happened in Room 44.” A moderately good little sketch capably presented. Given promise of being very serious and finally finishes with a comedy document. Not a great deal to it in the way of story, but it pleased fairly well and scored a moderately strong finish. 14 minutes, special in 3.
Coleman’s Cats, Dogs & Pigeons
A very clever animal offering of exceptional merit. A number of tricks were introduced that were entirely new here. Everything presented found favor. This act is exceptionally strong for the children and should find unlimited favor with adults. Finish strong. 12 minutes. Garden in 4.
