Man and woman, comedy sketch “Duffy’s Rise” an old time sidewalk conversation act elaborated on and made into a sketch and a scream from start to finish 18 minutes full stage, interior.
Eccentric dancer, makes 2 changes, dancing is very good. 10 minutes in one and went big.
6 people, man four women and a boy, comedy sketch The Italian Music Master. Singing dancing and piano playing, comedy work is fair singing good, boy was a hit, 20 minutes interior, went very good.
In Terpsichorean Classics. Special plush drops, 13 minutes. This is a very good dancing act and did very well for us. It is hardly fair to criticise them too severely for the reason that Mr. Burns was ill and compelled to lay off a performance.
Interior. 18 minutes. Singing. An eccentric sketch. I was agreeably surprised at this act. Hilda Thomas and Lou Hale both know how to out their act over. They went big at every performance.
Japanese slack wire and barrel-tossing act. These three clever men do some excellent work which is interspersed with no small amount of good clean comedy. An act that could go any place on this bill and do well. F.S.
15 minutes, with Loney Haskell consuming about 12 minutes of the time. I was rather afraid to play this act, but I am really glad that we out it in. I am sure it is drawing us some money and to my great surprise, they get considerable applause. (Louisville)
Singing and dancing. Full stage. Palace. 11 minutes. Just a neat little act with some clever dancing and piano playing. However, it is hardly fair to judge the act this week as both of them have been suffering from bad colds and had to lose one performance this week. (New York)
In “Spirit Paintings.” Interior. 15 minutes. While this act is somewhat mysterious and creates some little talk, I am sure it is not worth anything like the money we are paying. Under no conditions, however, would I play it a return, and I feel that $250 would be a very good price for the act. (Harrisburg)
17 minutes. Olio. A singing and dancing number. After all the good things I have heard of this couple I was really surprised at their failure here. They just get by and I am sure they are not worth the money we are paying them. (New York)
