A well-dressed man and woman do a short comedic skit with singing, dancing, and piano playing. The man does most of the work and does it smartly.

The act was sixteen minutes long.
Coverdale and White sing and dance. They both do several costume changes. White sings a solo.
The Aeroplane Ladies
The act was nine minutes long on the full stage.
Three women have an aerial act similar to that of the Curzon Sisters. The only difference is that they perform aerial tricks in a novelty aeroplane. They sing in German accents and do some dancing. They then hang by their teeth holding wings and flowing draperies. One of the women sits in the plane for the rest of the performance.
Falls and Falls
The act was five minutes long on the full stage.
These comedy acrobats have an act similar to Rice and Prevost. For their finale, the clown sits on a chair which is balanced on three tables stacked on top of one another. He then tilts the chair backwards and does a back somersault, landing on his feet.
Gertrude Vanderbilt and George Moore
The act was fourteen minutes long.
Gertrude Vanderbilt and George Moore come together after having been with several different partners (Vanderbilt was with Clay Smith and Moore was with Laura Guerite and then Isabelle D’Armond before trying his hand as a single German comedian).
Vanderbilt and Moore sing solos and duets and dance. Vanderbilt changes from a “striking opening gown” to a brown Quaker costume with slits in the sides which reveal comedy tights and bloomers underneath. They also do an “audience number”.
Belle Storey
The act was eighteen minutes long.
Belle Storey sings “straight” songs in a good soprano voice. In one number she sings “flute-like notes” which match those of the flute player who accompanies her.
Robbie Gordone
The act was twelve minutes long.
Miss Gordone recreates fourteen famous statues by posing. She does rapid changes at a rate of less than one per minute.
Gertrude Gebest
The act was nine minutes long.
Gebest begins with a song and then tells a long story about a horse named “Rough Rider” and the poor family that needs him to win his race. To finish, she supposedly plays the violin, but when she drops it near the end of the song the music keeps going. She reveals that she was making the violin sounds with her vocal chords the entire time.
Makarenka Duo
The Makarenka Duo are a Russian male and female team that do duets. They are dressed in “native costumes” and sing in Russian.
Mlle Veola
The act was eleven minutes long.
Mlle Veola sings emphatically, with long pauses and eye rolling, which the audience seems to enjoy. “She also uses a male ‘plant’ in a box for a chorus song.”
