Bickel and Watson
Opens with the pair and a small orchestra being thrown out of a side door for being “the worst”.
Kitty Francis and Co.
Elaborate and expensive costumes for the full female cast. Only one man is in the cast for filler.
Will J. Ward and “Matinee Girls”
Eight chorus girls, two dancing boys, and Ward as the only principal.
Zylette
An opening film shows Zylette as a doll, being sold by the inventor. She appears on the stage and does some work “as the doll” before changing into a succession of national types for a dance: German, Russian, and Spanish costumes before a transforming backdrop.
Wm. A. Brady’s Co.
Rev. Alexander Irvine and Co.
Sergeant Bagby
The stage is set with two houses side by side: one a preacher’s, flying the confederate flag. The other a northerner’s flying the American flag.
Arthur Hopkins Co.
May Wirth
Two horses are used for the act, in which May and her brother take several turns somersaulting on their backs.
May’s left knee was bandaged on stage, likely from practice. As such she didn’t do her famed double somersault.
Faulhan Team
The riders carry small sticks to navigate and throw the ball, while guiding the bicycle with the other hand.
