Comedy sketch, 14 min, lady and man, full stage. Created with more or less laughter, and would be considered a fairly good comedy offering. It is to be regretted that our patrons are blessed with such wonderfully developed retentive faculties, as I personally overheard many comments about the sketch having played the opposition house when same was under the Sheedy regime. This certainly would not help the status of the offering in the estimation of our clientele.
9 min. A very pretty aerial novelty by two attractive looking girls who hang by their teeth and swing around in showy evolutions. They enliven the act somewhat by playing musical instruments and furnished a good closing number.
27 min. As radiant and attractive as ever with several new songs, some of her old ones and medley of her best song hits, she had the audience applauding from the start to the finish of her act and at the close she was forced to come before the curtain and take several bows.
17 min. Payson Graham presents this distinguished tenor in a series of high-class vocal selections, including operatic and ballad numbers. Each number scored individually and he registered an emphatic hit. Hector MacCarthy at the piano played one number to liberal applause. This is an excellent musical offering which went very well.
22 min. Four men, one dressed as a woman, in a high-class juggling and musical act. During the musical finish, a very good impersonation of Charlie Chaplin is done by one of the men giving the act an excellent comedy finish, It scored a big hit.
26 min. This is an elaborated [sic] musical offering of what Mr. and Mrs. Voelker formerly used in vaudeville, a little playlet being written around their instrumental music. There are bits of singing and dancing, and although the talk is a little bit draggy, the sketch is a very pleasing high-class musical act which will please any audience where good music is appreciated. It is finished to a good hand.
21 min. In “The Bomb.” This is a detective play with principal playing an Italian being put through the third degree at detective headquarters on a murder case. The bit of character acting by Mr. Lackaye held the sketch up and there is a surprise finish. The piece held close attention and finished to fair amount of applause.
16 min. In fourth position, this popular composer went on and won applause with every number be played and sang, the audience applauding while he took a dozen bows. Sang encore for an extra big hit.
In “The Minstrel’s Return.” 25 minutes f.s. Palace. Very short close in one. Olio drop. Leonard was the applause hit of the show. He is assisted by pianist and two banjo players, and his new act is fast and full of life and ginger. Leonard’s songs and dances are as big a hit ever. Closed very strong.
17 mi, full stage, special set. Unquestionably one of the best acts of its kind, but in my opinion it would fit better on the big ten-act bills. There it would be a delightful bit of novelty; Here it hardly measures up to the standard of some of our past achievements in the matter of features.
