This is an act that is really too good to open the show, but as the bill was reconstructed after he was booked, it was about the only thing possible. He gives splendid value and was a decided surprise to the audience when he showed them he was a man. He is one of the few acts that some agent has not boasted before now and really, I don’t see how he carries all of his trappings, electrician, etc. with all the salary gets. 10 Min. F.S.
Man and woman eccentric comedy sketch. Couple of songs good comedy. Special set scenery. Went well. 18 minutes.
Man and woman, singing and talking act. 15 minutes in one singing not bad act just went fair.
“The Aviation Meet at St. Louis,” showing Col. Roosevelt making his first flight and the late Ralph Johnston doing daring stunts in a biplane. A mighty interesting and timely series.
19 min. F.S. A very novel juggling feature, requiring more dexterity than the regulation strong man act. Each one of the feats got good applause, and the booby comedian with Spadoni is very good, helping to give the act additional interest. Closed very well.
30 min. in one. Miss Tanguay was in fine spirits today and certainly gave a ripping good performance to a big house which had come to welcome her. She sang six songs, each one seeming to be better received than its forerunner. The songs are admirable in themselves, and are perfectly suited to her individual talents. The song called “Money” is a gem, and her tossing new pennies into the audience during the chorus was quite a sensation. Whether it was a song, a dance or a recitation, the applause was immense from all parts of the house, and her encore, “I Don’t Care,” closed her act with unbounded enthusiasm. Miss Tanguay is certainly better than ever, which saying everything flattering of this rare artiste and popular favorite.
19 min. open and close in one. Well known on the circuit. Gave his usual comedy and musical act with some variations. Received liberal applause and closed very well.
8 min. F.S. One man works straight, the other clown comedy. Their feats on the flying rings got good hands, and the Pedersen trick on the perpendicular bar got immense applause. Closed very strong.
18 min. in one. A new line of material, including parodies and amusing patter. Kept the audience in good humor, receiving frequent laughter and applause, and closed big. One of the best in the business.
A local dancing act that has made good here before, and certainly did so today. Advance hand and some applause during difficult steps. Closed well.
