26 min. In “A Pair of Tickets.” This is a very cleverly written comedy skit and very well played. Lines are bright and they have two or three catchy songs, all of which got over in good shape. It is presented in a classy stage setting and deserves to take a place among the classiest acts of its kind of which vaudeville can boast. There are four persons employed in the offering of this skit. Closed very strong.
21 min. Three men and two women in a big comedy dancing number. A lecturer invites a committee from the audience to wear the tango shoes to make them dance and the dancers are four very old persons and one extra large woman, and the dancing contest gives the act a finish that kept the audience in a roar of laughter. Closed strong.
12 min. Two boys in a very good comedy dancing act. Both are good eccentric dancers and get some good comedy out of the little talk and a song one of them uses. Act went well all the way through and finished to a good hand.
Dances, 10 minutes. Full stage, special set. Good act, the comedy element being much in evidence and their burlesque on the modern dances provided plenty of laughter. It is easily one of the finest dancing turns seen here for a long time past.
Minstrel bits, 3 men, 10 minutes (1) Special drop. Singing is inclined to be rather ordinary, but they do one capital dance which makes a good impression. There was a noticeable absence of the laugh-compelling comedy that would be expected in an offering of this kind, and the act on the whole is below the average set by most feature turns here.
Colored entertainers, 2 women, 8 men. 21 min. Full stage, spec. set. Singing is quite ordinary, but the comedy is much in evidence the same being occasioned by an unusually clever eccentric dance by one of the men, and also by the side-splitting manner in which the ‘ragtime band’ discourses melody, their methods being unique, novel and original. The scenic equipment of the act is worthy of mention, and thanks to the efforts of the band, the act was well received.
Man and woman work in full stage. Man makes up as a dirty tramp opens with a very good pantomime. Woman makes a very pretty appearance and there is some fairly good bicycle riding. 14 min. Went good.
2 women, one man. Women look a like. Singing and dancing and a surprise where both women are used in a little disappearance stunt in which one of the girls gives the trick a way. Work in two. Special drop 15 min. Went fairly good.
Twenty-five min. Eight men, two women. Special set, full stage; three scenes. Singing, dancing and a Burlesque Band. Lots of good comedy, good dancing and some good singing. This act was such a hit that it stopped the show at every performance.
33 minutes fs. Special sets. The most beautiful and costly gowns ever displayed upon this stage. Despite the fact that the show ran nearly one-half hour late, the audience remained in to see the wonderful clothes.
