Herman & Rice
Comedy acrobats. Comedy just fair. Straight man does a few good tricks, just went fair 12 minutes full stage.
Kinetograph
“Aeroplane in Flight and Construction.” An interesting and timely film. “The Aviation Craze.” Good comedy and also timely.
Three Macagnos
8 min. F.S. A fairly good acrobatic act on the order of the Three Yoscarrys but not as good. Will manage to get by in the closing spot this week, but would not care to play them there with a bigger show.
Wright & Dietrich
19 min. in one. two of the classiest singers in vaudeville. Mr. Wright has a very fine tenor voice, and Miss Dietrich a really phenomenal soprano, beside making a very pretty picture on the stage. Good repertoire of songs and received flattering applause. Closed very well.
Sam Mann & Co.
“The New Leader.” 36 min. F.S. Received an ovation today for one of the most original acts on the seemy side of stage life that has ever appeared here. From the opening right through to the very funny close, when the German Leader smashes his violin over the head of the stage manager, there is constant laughter, and the finish was big. There is a little thread of romance running through the fun which interests the audience and gives the new leader the halo of heroism in a humble way. Mr. Mann’s support is all that could be wished for, “Props” being good and the “sister” act particularly funny.
Andy Rice
15 min. in one. Same line of material as delivered here before, with some new parodies. Held the spot all right.
Mr. & Mrs. Frederic Voelker
22 min. F.S. The same classy romantic musical act that we have played before with such satisfaction. Mr. Voelker is a great favorite in Philadelphia, having lived here a good many years. His work is better than ever before, and his wife, besides making a charming picture at the piano, accompanies him admirably. Was compelled to give two encores. Will be a drawing card with our evening audience.
Hopkins, Axtelle & Co.
17 min. open and close in one. Three changes of costume. Drop shows the New York Pier, afterwards a Pullman parlor car and lastly a very pretty drop. Act is full of life and ginger all through and gets a good many laughs.
Leon Rogee
10 min. in one. This man’s imitations of cello, trombone, piccolo, etc., were quite remarkable. Received good applause. Puts a little comedy in his act which helps it to popularity. His whistling solo at the close got a good hand.
Dennis Bros.
8 min. F.S. This act makes a mighty good opener. One man works straight, the other clown. Their work is fast and novel. At times it is positively thrilling. Frequent applause, and the finish of the act when they turn over and over on the end of the revolving ladder was good.
