Alber’s Polar Bears
13 minutes f.s. special set. One of the most imposing and showy animal act we have played in a long time.
Four Brothers
27 minutes f.s. open in one 15 minutes. This troupe is certainly a drawing attraction, although they cannot be said to be the riot that they have been in years past. This morning, upon arrival, they announced that they would not go unless the bill was changed. They objected to following Jackson, who it appears was on the same bill with them once before.
Joe Jackson
14 minutes f.s. without question one, if not the greatest pantomimist, we have ever had in the house. It has been a long time since anyone has made a bigger hit.
Sam Lewis and Sam Dody
15 minutes in one. An Italian and Hebrew character act with a lot of novelty stuff. Went very big to-night.
Meredith Sisters
20 minutes open and close 6 minutes in one. special drops. Doing pretty much the same style of act as before, but this afternoon did not seem to have the life or songs they formerly had. To-night, however, they went very big.
Callahan and St. George
“The Old Neighborhood.” 24 minutes f.s. special set. One of the best little Irish comedies we play. Went very well at both shows to-day.
Hathaway, Madison and Mack
12 minutes in one. This team have a new girl in the act in place of Miss Kelly. She does not by any means measure up to the standard of the other people, and in fact, this afternoon was so amateurish in some of her work that we were obliged to eliminate some of the numbers altogether. Cut down to twelve minutes they did fairly well to-night, but would nor care to play them any further down on a bill.
Bertische
10 minutes f.s. special drop. A nice, clean-looking chap with a good routine of strong-man feats. Opened the show in very good shape.
Bradna & Derrick
Bareback riding act. Full stage. Beautifully dressed and carry three handsome horses. While the act did not receive any great amount of applause, nevertheless, I think it made an impression.
Bailey, Hall & Burnett
Trio of rathskeller singers. Received more applause than any act on the bill. Made a capable closing number for us first half of the bill.
