This clown and pantomime act called “Just Phor-Phun” was eighteen minutes long on the full stage and closed the show.
The brothers do “double work” in front of a mirror, not to be confused with the Schwartz Brother’s “broken mirror” trick. One of the four Hanlons plays a hotel keeper and is the straight man for the group. This is their first showing in vaudeville.
Two sisters sing and dance. Their opening material is nothing new or unusual, but they do “an eccentric song and dance in outlandish garb that just hit the audience right.”
The act was ten minutes long.
The orchestra only had twelve musicians and is very light for such a long name.
The act was twenty minutes long on the full stage.
The company presents a comedy sketch with a consistent story.
The man play a “rube” and the woman plays “a likely looking soubret.”
The act was eleven minutes long.
This African American song and dance team succeeds mainly on the strength of the man’s dancing. He dances in the style of the late Joe Britton. The woman makes two costume changes during the act.
The act was nineteen minutes long.
Bond Monroe formerly had a bicycle act, but now performs a monologue in which he uses the “fidgety maneuvers of a tramp” and sings.
The act was sixteen minutes long on the main stage.
The man wears a false “Vandyke” beard and opens the act with some comedic talk. He talks as he works with the clay while the woman models one piece and prepares the clay for the man throughout the rest of the act.
The act was thirty-two minutes long.
Houdini has perfected the “Milk-can escape” in which he places a milk can into a locked chest and submerges it in a tank full of water. Houdini then enters the tank, escapes from his padlocks, and removes the can in sixty-four seconds.
He also does escape work with handcuffs and a straight jacket, which he escapes so fast that the audience does not have sufficient time to realize how difficult it is.
The act was twenty-three minutes long on the full stage.
Miss Chaloner uses May Tully’s sketch called “Stop, Look, and Listen.” She does not, however, repeat Tully’s imitations and chooses instead to perform a travesty recitation of “The Other One was Booth.”
She is joined by another girl who plays a “bucolic stage-struck child” well.
