19 min. This couple are from the concert stage, the man being the son of a prominent University of Pennsylvania Professor. Both have been prominent in concert and operatic circles and have excellent voices. Their numbers are principally operatic and not particularly well suited for vaudeville, but all of them were well sung and the couple were very well liked, finishing to a strong hand.
12 min. A troupe of very well trained animals in a pantomime play representing a military incident in the Alps. The act is staged with special scenery and the dogs go through their work with no apparent urging, the trainer not appearing on the stage until the curtain. There is enough comedy injected to get plenty of big laughs and the act finished to a warm hand. A very good novelty.
16 min. Franco-American singing comedienne. Since she appeared in vaudeville before, she has been playing in musical comedy where she has been successful. Her offering consists of five songs, one of them a ballad, two familiar comedy numbers and a patriotic French song. She wears some striking costumes, making a rather attractive appearance. She was very well received.
18 min. In “Put That Down.” These two well known stock favorites have a comedy sketch of light caliber for their vehicle in vaudeville. As both are favorites in this city, they managed to get more out of it than the sketch is worth. It started rather weak but finished better and the two artistic closed to a good hand.
Five ladies. Five men work in special set full stage. Singing dancing playing the pipes and drums. A very good act. Went over good all shows.
Full stage special set. Open with black art which is very good. Club juggling and comedy boxing by two midgets and a little burlesque dancing. Act went very well.
In “Her Diamond Slippers.” A clever little sketch with a good plot well acted. Miss Cotton acting Fourcharacters [sic] parts. 18 min. Full stage. Went very well.
Works in one 14 min. An offering of talk native dances and a scotch song. Act finishes with the Baptism of Fire. This is a very good offering out of the ordinary. Went very good
Fra’ the Land O’Heather and the Highlands of Scotland. In kilts and tartans. From the time the curtain rises until its final fall there is something doing all the time. Singing Scotch songs, dancing, playing of the bagpipe. They make a very nice appearance in a Scothishdress [sic]. This act has plated here twice before. It went great all day. Six curtains this afternoon and eight tonight. 21 minutes.
Monologue. This woman has a nice line of talk on the peculiarities of woman. Makes a nice neat appearance. Her line of talk was new, at least to this audience, which was enjoyed immensely. 11 minutes in one.
