Pictures
“A Honeymoon from Canada to Hong Kong.” One of the best comedy pictures we have had in a long time.
Captain Treat’s Seals
12 minutes f.s. This act proved to be a novelty, and the seals and sea lions worked first rate to-day.
Harry L. Webb
18 minutes in one. This is Webb’s first appearance here, and it was some time before he managed to “get” the audience, but his finish was good.
Strength Bros.
An exceptionally clever pair of novelty acrobatics equilibrists. They present a lot of hand and head balancing stunts that are decidedly worth while. Almost every trick they offered won applause. Held the audience to the finish without the slightest trouble and finished strong. 7 minutes, palace in 2.
Hoey & Lee
Hebrew comedians, appearing this time as policemen. Have a very rapid form of cross fire talk that kept the audience laughing most of the time. Their parodies for a finish went very big and they were compelled to take numerous bows at the finish. Street in One, 13 minutes.
Clifford Walker
English musical monologist. Mr. Walker is a thorough artist of a very high class. His work consists of recitations, impersonation without make-up, and a pianologue song. Very quiet in his method, extremely genteel and refined, and the kind of an entertainer that will surely have no trouble in getting into the good graces of any intelligent audience. His work went exceedingly well all the way through and he is indeed a credit to the bill. Finished strong. 17 minutes, olio in One.
Walsh, Lynch & Co.
In a melodramatic comedy, “Huckins’ Run.” Characters: Billy Butts, an East Side boy, Thankful Slocum, an Orphan, the Village Postmaster and Town Constable, both of the last named characters impersonated by the same man. The act is quite a good one, with a good story, there are a number of good solid laughs, the interest at no time lags, and the finish was strong. A special set added considerable to the merit of the piece. A substantial success. 25 minutes, special set in 4.
The Dolce Sisters
Three nice appearing girls, well dressed, and in every way pleasing. Introduce a number of songs and all of them very effectively. A good round of applause on the first song, and from that on came stronger and stronger until the finish when they were compelled to take quite a number of bows. They could have, in fact given another number very nicely. Perfectly satisfactory. 15 minutes, olio in One.
Les Navas
Two men who present an interesting and meritorious line of work as trapeze equilibrists. Make a good appearance and introduce a number of tricks that won applause. Held attention all the way through and had a moderately strong finish. 12 minutes, terrace in 4.
Kinetograph
“A Trip to the Isle of Jersey.” A very picturesque travel series. “A Cold-Storage Romance.” A fairly good comedy film. The new Daylight Motion Pictures are being talked about and the regulars are waiting for them in larger numbers than previously, which shows that they are appreciated.
