Goleman’s Dogs
15 minutes f.s. This is a great animal act. Almost too good to open a show, and not suitable for closing. But to-night it started things off in good shape.
Johnson & Wells
Colored team. Singing and dancing, dressed swell. 12 minutes in one, went big.
Jennet Bros.
Hand to hand balancers. All week, doing well.
Xena Keife
Singing and dancing act, nicely dressed, 3 changes, 12 minutes in one went big.
Odiva
F.S. Time 19. Carries announcer. In my opinion is a better performer than Kellermann. She certainly holds the interest of her audience better. She swims and dives in a wonderful fashion and works hard every second.
Mona Ryan & Co.
2 men, 1 woman. Time 19. Presenting a sketch called “Handcuffed.” Many bright lines. Situations novel.
Three Dolce Sisters
In 1. Time 13. This is a dainty act. They sing mighty well and have a fine selection of songs.
Tom Jack Trio
1 man, 2 women. Time, 8. In 2. A good, lively, musical novelty.
Geo. M. Cohan’s “The Governor’s Son.”
15 people. This is a one-act version of Cohan’s three act musical comedy, produced by Arthur Klein and J.M. Welsh, the latter general manager of the Cohan and Harris enterprises. Vaudeville, in this act, has a musical comedy that will be a headline novelty in any house in the country. It is full of comedy, the songs are catchy, the girls are pretty and the dancing by Rosie Green is a feature in itself. For 35 minutes this afternoon the act had the audience screaming with laughter at the ludicrous mixups. The cast is good, with possibly one exception—the man playing Benjamin Curtis. I do not know whether it was nervousness over first performance by Wm. F. Ryan, who plays the part, does not get his lines over intelligently. As the act depends for its success upon rapidity of action I think it would be well for the owners of the act to make a change in this character as soon as possible. Own set in 3. Time 35.
Fiddler & Shelton
Clever Colored Comedians. One of the best colored teams I have ever played. The men are clean-cut, with fine personalities and get and get their stuff over in good shape. They have a splendid routine of patter and song and Fiddler’s impersonations are excellent. I want to commend this team for the excellent manner in which they read lines. They display more intelligence in their work than is usually found in colored teams. Olio drop in 1. Time 18 min.
