Comedy playlet “First Love.” Two men, one woman. 22 minutes, library. With the exception of the cute Miss Glaser made in her songs she comes very near presenting her act as per suggested by the program. If she could sing, she’s forgotten how now, and it may have been because of the realization of the fact that she cut two songs at the matinee and one in the evening. As a comedienne she is clever, while the vehicle was presumably built for the purpose of giving her talent the best play possible. The act is by no means a big one and will create no talk. (Brooklyn)
The modern juggler. 18 minutes, palace. This act comes mighty near the honors for the program. It is high class is every particular and decidedly original. Kara has a man assistant, who is an acrobat and a good comedian, and between the two of them they give 18 minutes of as clever entertainment as anyone could wish to see. The act will hold down any spot, no matter how fast the company. (Columbus)
The melody maid. 12 minutes in one. This young lady did not arrive in time to hold her advertised spot on the bill, but was compelled to take the seventh spot in the afternoon. Her songs are catchy, and she changes costume for each one. She held down the second spot on the bill very well. (Pittsburgh)
Or Forrer and Edgirettu’s Posing Horse and Dogs. 10 minutes f.s. Special cyclorama. A man, a woman, a horse and four dogs reproducing a day’s hunting trip in living marble statuary. One of the best posing acts we have ever played. Could go up in the middle of a bill. The audience remained in their seats to the very finish, and the act closed strong. Made a splendid closing feature for a strong show.
29 minutes. Open in one 15 minutes. 14 minutes close in two. Garden. Miss Cox sang three songs and closed with her aeroplane number. Her songs went over very well, with many laughs, and the aeroplane trip kept the audience in screams of laughter. Held this hard spot in great shape and closed big.
In “La Sonnambule.” 22 minutes f.s. Special set. This Molasso pantomime proved quite an interesting to our audiences to-day as have this producer’s previous efforts. Was greeted with close attention all through, and finished strong.
7 minutes. Garden. Full stage. European novelty artist. This woman stands alone in her particular line. She is really too well known to need any extended criticism, except to say that she has just as good an act as she ever had.
17 minutes. Full stage. Special; close in one. Exterior. Presenting “A Question of Policy.” A singing and dancing act that I did not consider good. I am sure we would not care to play them a return engagement.
12 minutes. Full stage. Garden. Trapeze act. These men are clever performers. Their apparatus is very fine and their work on the trapeze is as good as any we have ever seen, but it is not a closing act, their work being entirely too slow position.
13 minutes. Full stage. Palace. In musical repertoire. Miss Brooks and Miss Simpson are really a big hit. At the close of their act they are taking five and six curtain calls. Miss Hunt in the “My Hero” song from “The Chocolate Soldier” is a terrific hit.
