Lieut. Aldridge
Man in military dress opens with an illustrated talk on Mexico showing scenes of the war situation. Goes to full stage making pretty pictures with colored sand. 14 minutes, full stage.
Horton & La Triska
Man working as a clown and the girl as a human doll. The girl shows wonderful control of her muscles and is brought in the audience for examination and it is hard to believe she is human. The doll later does a mechanical dance on the stage and then convinces the audience that she is human. The act has plenty of laughs and a good novelty finish. 13 min. full stage.
Gormerly & Caffery
Two men, comedy acrobats. One works straight and the other as a clown. They have a good routine of acrobatic work and plenty of comedy. 8 min. full stage.
Bertha Creighton and Co.
Two women and one man. In very pretty special set in off stage. 15 minutes. Went fair. A very good act and well acted dramatic sketch ‘Our Husband.’ Altho dramatic, there is some good comedy in the act.
Lorraine & Dudley
Comedy sketch, 16 minutes, full stage, special set. Comedy gets more or less laughter and the audience receives them kindly. Their special set is well executed depicting a kitchen with all of its various appertenances [sic]. Would question its strength as a feature act, particularly when one considers the salary which is almost exorbitant for a thin of its kind.
Dora Pelletier
Singer comedienne, 12 minutes in (1). An ordinary act, sings well but the comedy does not seem to arrive, although her work is largely original. A well-gowned act, displaying some striking examples of the modiste’s [sic] art, which fact alone endears her to the femininity which constitutes a goodly proportion of our audience.
Will Oakland & Company
In ‘At the Club’, 5 men, full stage CDF. POSITIVELY A SONG FEAST! I am not often at a loss for words, but upon this particular occasion I must confess that my vocabulary is altogether inadequate and totally insufficient wherewith to describe this act in all its glowing features. This is my confession, and if there be any shame there-in, I am quite willing to accept the shame. You yourself, who have witnessed the offering in all its glory, and I do not consider this adjective one whit too strong, can perhaps appreciate my position, and agree with me that the very futility of any attempt at description would disconcert one at the very outset. This much I can emphatically say, that it is the one act that will cause the Bijou’s reputation to be handed down to future posterity as the home of real vaudeville. The one act that will forever remain the brightest gem in memory’s golden chalise [sic].
Jean & Wily Hayes
Singing, talking and dancing skit. 13 minutes in (I). Fairly good act, the man displaying considerable ability in his dancing numbers. The girl helps considerably with her comedy propensities which were successful in production more or less laughter. Their singing in worthy of at least passing mention.
Kirk & Fogarty
Man poses as stage hand at the start giving the act a novelty opening; followed with some comedy talk and singing; the man changes to evening clothes while the woman makes several changes of elaborate costume. Finish with burlesque tango in ‘1’. 18 minutes.
Will Oakland and Co.
Five men. In full stage, pretty set. CDF. Went very good. A singing act on the style of comic opera, all the lines being sung instead of spoken. Mr. Oakland has a fine tenor voice, and the harmony is excellent. Hit at night. A very good act indeed.
