Up to this point there was nothing doing and Moore really saved the show. The audience seemed to be almost asleep up to the time he entered. He must be given credit with not only waking them up but keeping them waked and rounding out a genuine qualified hit for himself. Scored a lot of laughs, a liberal quantity of applause and achieve a good strong finish.
Have not yet received the salary of this act, but if it is very much we are bounced. The best thing in the whole offering form the audience’s standpoint was the special drop showing the birds. None of the numbers they offer scored, and there was a liberal allotment of off-key vocal effort. For a big act it did very poorly and was a decided disappointment. A weak finish, with hardly a chance for a solitary bow. 8 minutes, special set in 2.
A line of comedy songs and talk very similar to that formerly offered by Kate. She got along moderately well and secured some good solid laughs, but on the whole did not score heavily. Fairly strong finish. 20 minutes, olio in 1.
In a comedy dramatic sketch, “Turning the Tables.” A fair little act that held the attention moderately well and managed to get by. No finish to speak of. 20 minutes, kitchen in 3.
Seven juveniles, who offer a routine of songs and gags, none of which are especially worth while. The talking end of the act drags, and the ensemble singing is not very good. The finishing number to some extent brought them out of the depths and the finish was just about get-by. Audience didn’t seem to care much for them. 16 min. in 2, close in 1.
The Wire Marvel. This is a crackerjack wire act, the work of the performer being about as good as anything ever shown here. Had no trouble in holding attention all the way through. Punctuations of applause and a strong finish. 9 minutes, landscape in 4.
10 minutes f.s. The show was short this afternoon and put La Gusta in with his wire act to close. He held the audience about as well as most any act would have done this time at night and remarkably well considering the fact that he was not programmed. It is one of those cases of taking a chance and getting by.
12 minutes in one. A good singing and dancing act in this spot and went first-rate.
Classic pantomime. 10 minutes f.s. These are two local people, am and woman, who got by in very good shape and will draw us business.
12 minutes f.s. close in one. Exceptionally lively dancing and acrobatic act. Woke the house in good shape.
