A comedy skating act with the woman in a Sis Hopkins makeup doing the comedy. The man is the “straight.”
Two Pucks
Jack Reid
The after piece is purely farce. Whether the farce idea is a mistake in a burlesque show or not remains a questions. The numbers and music were almost entirely suspended during the farce, and therein leis the mistake. The girls are a big attraction with a burlesque show and when they are off the stage a half hour at a time, it is too long.
The chorus of sixteen girls stack up fairly well as to looks and show and evident desire to work.
Bradley and Barnes
The man dressed in well fitting evening clothes, the woman wearing an afternoon gown; she would have made a much better appearance in semi-evening dress.
Ethel Golden
Miss Golden does three numbers with costume changes.

Big Banner Show
The first part speed quickly, a short but lively olio of three acts following. The second act closed the performance, and passed rapidly also.
Each number is attractively costumed. Tights are frequent, but never worn vulgarly nor is the dressing t be complained of. Even in one Scotch number where all the girls wear kilts exposing their bare legs, the effect is attractive.
Al Shean plays the principal comedy role of the German hotel keeper.
For the information of the management which seems to think a “Dutchman” in the first act would help that portion and the comedy of the show. It might be said that the performance as given last Friday night seems just right.
Annette Goldie is the servant, in grotesque dress. She leads a number in the second act, called ” Four Eyes, ” well put on.
Ruth Benton had a small role and a couple of the chorus girls were the gendarmes. There are sixteen choristers. Taking choruses as they run, this lot is extra good.
