17 min. F.S. This is an excellent closing feature. Man and woman make a fine appearance, work the animal—six ponies and as many trained dogs. Act in every way showman-like, and the animals’ tricks not only show excellent training but considerable comedy. A great children’s feature.
18 min. in one. Two men work straight and one at the piano. The boys certainly know how to get a song over in great shape. Both have good voices and personalities, and the pianist is exceptional as an accompanist. The song called “The Piano Man” is a gem of its kind. One of the best vocal acts we have ever played here.
“The Georgia Minstrels.” 43 min. open in one, close F.S. This well known act is certainly a scream from start to finish. Received a big advance hand and held the interest throughout, sometimes the audience stopping the show with laughter and applause. Lives up to the headline billing and will certainly draw money to the house, as it is one those acts that can be seen many times and enjoyed quite as much with every repetition.
16 min. F.S. Makes a very effective entrance with the automobile, and opens his act with some new stuff that is very amusing indeed. In fact, his whose act is full of fun and surprises that get all parts of the house. Laughter and applause throughout and a strong close.
20 min. open and close in one. Same act as presented here before with “the greatest musician in the world” who does not play any instrument at all, and the vocalists whose work is fairly good and whose personality is pleasing. Have a good line of jokes and general comedy stuff as well as selection of songs. Closed fairly well.
“The Bandit.” 23 min. F.S. Second appearance here. Very melodramatic and admirably acted throughout. Held the interest of the audience tensely right up to the close. Finished to a big hand.
12 min. in one. Three boys and three girls with two changes of costume. This act has improved immensely and is now one of the most lively and gingery acts in vaudeville. They do a lot of steps that are entirely new, and kept the audience in constant applause. Closed very strong.
8 min. F.S. This act is well known on the circuit. Two men and a woman, all working straight. Act is more in the nature of a “strong man” feature than acrobatic. It includes some new stunts that are immense and get a good hand from all parts of the house. The hand-to-hand dive from table, two barrels high, was especially applauded. Closed big.
F.S. Time 15. The first five minutes is wasted in mediocre lariat work, the better of which has been seen here time and time again. Kelly is undoubtedly a skillful stock whip manipulator, yet I would not class him ahead of Fred Lindsey. Kelly has a deliberate manner which slackens up the speed of his offering and hence does not make his work an ideal attraction to close a show with.
Time 20. In 1. Man at piano. An energetic young singer whose selections are all good. Scored heavily.
