Ernest Panzer & Midget Charlie
Time 7. F.S. Carry two men assistants. A remarkable acrobatic offering full of novelties and quick surprises. Much applause throughout.
Morrissey Sisters & Brothers
Time 11. 2 young women, 2 young men. In 1. A very neat dancing act. Songs only fair.
Two Vivians
Time 12. Man & woman. This well known sharpshooting act proved as great a success at the opening matinee today as it did on its former visit. Very little change.
Byrne Brothers
“A Carriage Ride and its Mishaps.” Made an ideal closing act for one of the best shows of the season. Act too familiar to need description. Sufficient to say that it pleased immensely and held the audience up to the finish. Own set in 4. Time 11 min.
Keller Mack & Frank Orth
“The Wrong Hero.” A new addition to the act in “one” that should have no trouble in getting plenty of work. Mack is working in white face and has the unctuous style that made him so popular as the blackface man with Quinlan & Mack and earlier as Monroe & Mack. The act is full of bright comedy and the musical numbers were well received. After the big hit scored by Weston & Lynch I had some doubts about this team being able to hold them. I was agreeably disappointed for they not only kept the show still moving at its rapid gait but had to respond to half a dozen bows at the finish. Own drop in 1. Time 24 min.
Nellie Lynch & Albert Weston
“The Fainting Girl.” This act had the audience fairly shrieking their heads off with laughter for twenty minutes this afternoon. Weston’s impersonation of a drunk wrestling with an imaginary adversary would almost make a graven image laugh. He caught out Monday “show mo” crowd right at the start and the audience was still laughing and applauding when the cards were displaced for the next number. Miss Lynch does her “faint” scene, which she made famous in “Jack and the Beanstalk.” This act ought to be a big laughing success on any bill. Parlor in 3. Time 20 min.
Durr McIntosh & Co.
In “The Ranchman.” 3 people. McIntosh has atoned for his Boston and Colonial fiasco by putting over one of the best dramatic acts I have seen in sometime. Act is interesting from start to finish with pretty story, some good comedy and the most exciting gun fight between the two men that vaudeville has ever seen. Though this was the first presentation the act ran very smoothly and by the middle of the week should be in great shape. Act took five well deserved curtain calls. McIntosh is splendid in the leading role and he has had the good sense to surround himself with people who can really act. Own set in 3. Time 20 min.
T.W. Eckert & Emma Berg
“Blossoms.” These well known people registered a substantial hit today with their new Japanese operetta. The vocal numbers were well received while it seemed as if the audience could not get enough of Eckert’s piano imitations. Act beautifully staged with special scenery and elaborate costumes. Should go well anywhere. Own set in 3. Close in 1, 14 min. time 25 min.
Dunbar & Turner
The American Girl and the Yankee Doodle Dutchmen. A capital man and woman singing, talking and dancing act. Both good dancers and make fine appearance. Act is away from the cut and dried class and went over in splendid shape with our audiences. Street in 1. Time 18 min.
Samsone & Delilah
Sensational Balancers. Man and woman in one of the fastest working and most daring balancing acts I have ever played. Some of their tricks are most thrilling and they started the show off in rattling good shape. Good enough to close a small show. Fcy in 3.
