Same act these men gave us before and with the usual number of cuts. No matter how many times they play our houses they still have to be told to cut “You fool,” parodies like “It’s a BEAR” and “Row, Row, Row” and the others they attempt. However, even with the cuts, they held this hard spot, with the show very late, fairly well. 18 min in one.
A better title for advertising purposes that the briefer “Hazel Weston.” This travesty on the old-fashioned rural melodrama is not only unique but very funny. Our audiences simply howled at it. Has its own miniature stage and rather elaborate stage settings, snowstorms, etcetera, and burlesque illustrated songs between the acts. Not only is the act a novelty and well-written but admirably produced and with an all-round good company who are responsible for much of its success. 38 min. F.S.
A beautiful act. Subjects well chosen and the slides preceding each picture and telling something about it or about the artist who painted it seems to me to add to the interest quite a little. Only two nude subjects included in the present program – “The Sword Dance” and “Evening Idylles” – but these are artistic and free from objectionable features that even the most prudish could do nothing but admire. The kind of an act we could play year after year with change of subjects. Pleased all parts of the house, each picture getting hearty applause. 18 min. F.S.
A neat little couple in a little singing, some pretty good dancing, a little cycling and some roping. Not a big act by any means, but a pleasant little opening act. The boy has a likable personality and considerable ability but the girl does not amount to much. 10 min. F.S. Close in one about 4 min.
38 min F.S. The strong recommendations which this act has received wherever presented found full justification today and certainly does Belasco and his associates proud. No more gripping and thoroughly artistic one-act play has ever been seen here, and the audience went wild with enthusiasm after the spectacular finish. In every detail the production is a masterpiece, and the cast leaves nothing to be desired. Think it will be more talked about than any feature we have had here for many a year and should pack the house at every performance.
15 min. F.S. Big applause at the rise of the curtain. We have not had a dog act in a long time that won as much laughter and applause at this one. As a children’s feature, it could hardly be excelled. The act is showman-like in every particular and the dogs do not show any fear of the whip. Do some remarkable feats that win all parts of the house. Closed very strong.
“The Substitute.” 19 min. F.S. Miss Thomas makes two changes of costume and Mr. Hall appears as a rube. These people had a little trouble in getting hold of their audience at first but managed to amuse the crowd with their clever character songs and comedy. All right anywhere in the upper half of the bill. Good closing hand.
She uses three seals to supplement her own stunts. One joins her in the tank while the other two perform between her stunts.
Her costume changes are assisted by two men in claw hammers.
