Mott and Maxfield
The act was eighteen minutes long.
Maxfield is a small woman who dresses well and does some mimicry while singing. She has a way of telling her jokes without giving offence, which is no easy task.
Sims and Thompson
The act was nine minutes long.
This male team sings and dances. The shorter of the two does all the “stepping”.
Sam Golden
The act was eight minutes long.
Golden appears as a Hebrew character but sings Irish songs to open his act. He then does an Italian characterization and sings a “Christopher Columbus” song made famous by Willie Weston.
Bartello and Co.
This strong act was ten minutes long on the full stage.
The company is actually one assistant to Bartello, who does next to nothing. During the finale, Bartello offers fifty dollars to anyone in the audience who can duplicate his trick.
Grace Dixon
The act was ten minutes long.
Dixon is “just another girl who sings”, though with a prettier dress than most.
Golden and Collins
The act was eleven minutes long.
Of these “Hebrew Comedians”, one man is a straight and the other handles the comedy. They open with a parody of “Ragtime Violin” and do a funny bit where the comedian fiddles with some peanuts while the other asks to address the audience, uninterrupted.
Franklin Bros. and Farrington
The act was seventeen minutes long.
Two men and a girl who plays the piano sing. One of the brothers named Eddie sings “Mammy’s Shuffling Dance” quite well, and the other, Louie, puts on a German accent and sings “Raus Mit Kraus” and gets some laughs.
Mysterious Moore
The act was eighteen minutes long on the full stage.
Mysterious Moore does card tricks with some comedic talk. His comedy is mostly done by the musicians, who punctuate his performance with their instruments.
3 Martins
The act was thirteen minutes long.
Two straights and one clown use no props, but their tricks score with the audience.
The Three Willie Brothers
The Three WIllie Brothers did some perch work, but the rest of their tricks were brand new. They also dress neatly, which is another point in their favour.
