In “First Love.” 10 minutes f.s. Tapestry C.D.F. Miss Glaser has a very good comedy sketch, and has surrounded herself with a capable company. Two songs, one a duet and the other a solo by Thomas Richards, Miss Glaser’s leading man, are introduced. Went very well at both performances to-day, getting a number of laughs and closing strong.
10 minutes in one. Special drapery. One of the best dressed two-men dancing acts we have ever played. All their numbers are presented in a novel manner, and they got over first-rate at both performances to-day.
There is no gainsaying the fact that Mr. Dixey is an artist to his finger tips and our audience realized the fact fully; got a considerable applause throughout his act and a good round at the finish. I am sure it is the kind of an act our people like and ought to draw us some business. 17 min. in two.
These two young fellows do a very good piano and violin act, depending a good deal upon their ragtime, suggestive motions, etc., which I think is entirely unnecessary and they have agreed to make an effort to clean up the act and play it a little bit straighter and I think they will get just as much out of it and not offend the fastidious people in the audience. 16 min. in one.
A very good club juggling act – that is, what they do is good – but it seems rather foolish to pay anything like a salary to two men to go out there and do 5 minutes for this kind of work, and they say that is the complete length of their act, notwithstanding that their agent assured me that they did. 10 min, possibly 12, in one.
Twelve of them. Native dances, native instrumental music, pyramid building and lighting-like ground tumbling. An act that goes with a dash and made a very good closing number. F.S.
Singing comedian. Mr. Linn seemed to be quite well liked and we can recommend him for any of the less important positions on a vaudeville bill. The spectacle of as fat a man as he trying to dance caused a lot of merriment. In one.
Minstrel comedian. In our opinion, Mr. Wilson’s act is not up to the present day vaudeville standard. He failed to get but a few scattered laughs and it seems that this type of act has about outgrown its usefulness. In one.
“His Japanese Wife.” 27 min. F.S. Big advance applause. This is the first time that Miss Bergere has presented this play here in several years, but it certainly was a hit all the way through. Beautifully presented from a scenic and costume standpoint and thoroughly artistic in every way. Held the audience very strong up to the rousing big finish with three curtain calls.
“Spirit Paintings.” 16 min. F.S. Clive is certainly a genuine novelty. He presents it in a very lively and interesting manner and keeps the audience guessing right up to the finish. Big applause after each demonstration and closed strong. An act that will be talked about.
