12 minutes in one. Rather a hard spot for this kind of an act, and as a matter of fact, Dillon’s material is not quite as good as he has had on previous occasions. But there can be no question about his being a favorite, and finished strong to-night.
In “It’s Up To You, William.” 26 minutes f.s. It has been a good many years since we played this sketch, but to-night it proved to be as big a laughing hit as ever. In fact, one of the biggest laughs we have had in a long time.
21 minutes f.s. special set. Although we played the act for two weeks about four months ago, it seemed to go at both performances to-day even better than ever. Mr. Kellogg has eliminated quite a lot of his talk, and works he act very much faster than he did before. Has introduced several new stunts, such as blowing out the flame with the whistle; the singing flame; and the Digger Indian Death Tie, which he performed here for the first time to-day. All were received with enthusiasm and the stage setting got a hand at the opening.
23 minutes f.s. special set. In “Sweethearts.” This beautiful old sketch, with its attractive scenery held the audience in good shape to-day, and finished big.
15 minutes in one. Man, woman, and piano. The woman has more or less personality, and a very fair line of stuff. I am sure she would go very much better further down on a bill than she does in this spot.
12 minutes f.s. This is a very fair opening act, doing difficult feats with the teeth and on the trapeze and rings. Good value for the money and could open most any show.
15 Min. Full Stage. Certainly a wonderful juggler.
15 Min. in 1—Talk very draggy—singing and dancing finish good.
15 Min. in 1—Voice bad—cannot sing. Hardly got by.
13 Min. open in 1. Close full stage. Fair singers and good dancers. Only a fair act.
