Pictures
Entitled “Good Glue.” Another picture entitled “Hunting the Panther” was cut out owing to the extreme cruelty to the panther by the natives. This picture was ordered eliminated before it was publicly presented.
A Night in a Monkey Music Hall
15 minutes, full stage, own set. A very amusing monkey act. The scene shows a miniature stage with an orchestra and a pit. Monkey card boys put out the numbers. Five miniature vaudeville numbers are presented by monkeys during which a monkey orchestra plays selections. No person appears on the stage with them. The act has been seen here before but makes just as big a hit as ever.
Lee Lloyd
In character songs, assisted by Jay Roberts at the piano. Everything in one, olio. The act was rather draggy at first and only went moderately well. Mr. Lloyd closes with the song “Rosy Marie” which made a hit and probably saved the act from being only moderately successful.
Henry Horton & Co.
25 minutes. Open 5 minutes in one. Own drop, then to full stage, interior living room. Is a splendid rural sketch, is full of fun and holds the audience throughout with laughter and applause.
Wheeler Karl & Vera Curtis
Man and woman. 18 minutes in one. Own drop. They have some excellent songs and a great deal of amusing chat. The set is as clever of its kind that has been seen here for a long time. Went well with the audience and accorded a very hearty encore.
Redford & Winchester
16 minutes, full stage, wood, own drop. Two very clever and amusing jugglers who get much laughter and applause for their comedy and expert juggling. Their finish is strong. The act went well and made a big hit.
Murphy and Nichols
27 minutes f.s. “The School of Acting.” This evening, closing the show, this well known travesty made as big a hit as ever. Held the audience and made them laugh every minute.
Gene Greene
15 minutes in one. Greene was not equal to the task of following Murphy and Nichols this afternoon, but to-night he went better. Here is a case of a man who would be tremendous hit working in blackface, but who insists in working in evening dress. Also a case of piano in one. If anybody is willing to start a boycott on pianos in one, here’s one who will sign quick. We have two of them this week.
Jane Courthope and Company
In “Lucky Jim.” 30 minutes f.s. If this place could be cut about 10 minutes, and Jane Courthope would get away from her 10-20-30 style of emotional acting, it might be a good vaudeville feature. But as it is now, notwithstanding the beautiful scenery, which is as fine as anything that we have had, the boy alone saves it from being guyed.
Field Brothers
9 minutes in one. This is a very good value for this spot. The boys work in blackface, old minstrel style, and dance well.
