Two men and one woman in pantomimic comedy and acrobatic work. They have lots of new tricks all of which were very cleverly presented. There was scattered applause through and a rattling good finish. C.D.F. in three, 10 minutes.
Very interesting series of international events covering ten different countries and states.
9 min. F.S. An act on the lines of the Willy Pantzer combination, but if anything better, having two men, a woman and two boys, the latter being extraordinary gymnasts, doing all the feats of Pantzers and other beside. Received abundant applause all the way through and made a whirlwind close.
10 min. in one. Good advance applause. A very handsome woman with a charming stage presence and has a voice that would fill any theatre with fine musical vocalism. Sang four songs, all of which were very well applauded.
21 min. in one. Advance applause. Held this spot in great shape with a good line of parodies, stories and jokes told in an original manner. The audience was loth to let him go.
“The Wise Rabbi.” 27 min. F.S. Advance applause. A very absorbing drama whose interest depends upon the ability of Mr. Thompson to put a strong plea by the aid of pantomime. This he does in a very convincing manner and leaves the audience in no doubt as to the meaning of his petition. Mr. Thompson’s support in the person of the Russian official is good. Some of the sentiments expressed by the old Rabbi received applause and the finish was very strong.
19 min. in one. A very clever patter act varied with some good songs, even if they were not altogether new. Miss Merrill is a very pretty girl and appears in two changes of stunning costumes. Big closing hand and was compelled to give an encore.
16 min. F.S. Open their act with some burlesque and piano work that is amusing. Proceed to solos on cornet and musical bells, both getting good applause. Closed well after the Rube girl number.
Both work blackface, one making a change to female attire. Songs and patter fair, but the eccentric dancing got considerable laughter and applause. Closed well.
12 min. F.S. Open with some songs and eccentric dancing which gets by fairly well. Then proceeds to the triple bar work after undressing in mid-air. This part of the act is very skilful and received a good hand.
