24 minutes full stage. Eleven people gorgeously costumed and carrying their own set, which is very massive and beautiful. Their instrumental and vocal work is far above the average, and the act will be an attractive ornament to any bill.
16 minutes in one. A quartette that get a good deal of comedy out of their work as well as entertain with good singing numbers.
22 minutes full stage. A rough comedy sketch that does alright in a number three position. Hodge’s character work is very good, while his support is about all you could except from an act of this price.
11 minutes in one. Two pretty girls who sing and dance, and hold the spot nicely.
10 minutes full stage. A very good opening act. Miss Pantzer does some very attractive wire work while her assistant, who is a man, does some good tumbling.
39 minutes open in one. There is no question about this act having draft this afternoon, but I am afraid our audience expected too much as it did not arouse the enthusiasm that it has in New York. It must be said, however, that the show ran very late and there was a great deal of singing ahead of it. With changes made in the bill to-night, I think there will be a great improvement all around.
22 minutes open and close in one. This act called “Thursday Night,” is entirely different from anything that Tighe has previously done in vaudeville. Has got none of the slap stick and is more of a parlor offering. There is more or less comedy in it, which in a month or more may work up into a pretty strong act, but to-day it got laughs in spots but there were intervals that dragged. I have put it up on the bill to-night and hope for better results.
17 minutes in one. This young Englishman did not make the impression that he did during his first visits here, although he held this spot in very good shape. He explains that he was afraid to use his stronger songs in Boston, and as it is he had to eliminate one verse of one of them.
15 minutes in one. It is very evident that this sort of a straight singing act isn’t what it used to be in vaudeville, especially in this house. I am afraid Kelly isn’t singing as well as he used to some years ago. Didn’t any more than get by to-day.
22 minutes f.s. This act, I understand, has been playing the smaller time, but it demonstrated to-day that it is good enough for the big houses. It is a racing sketch with a good deal of action and a moving picture racing scene or a horse race, which works in very well. It held the interest to-day in good shape and got a good hand at the finish. Has more or less comedy all through it.
