Song, dance & comedy skit, 12 minutes, C.D.F. Extremely clever eccentric dancing by the man, highly artistic vocal renditions by the lady, the whole interspersed with a delightfully infectious vein of comedy makes a most successful offering that was received with voluminous applause.
Card manipulator, 18 minutes (1). Who would have thought, fifteen years ago, watching this man as one of the team of Berol and Beroal, “The Bagpicker and the Artist,” that he would have developed into the marvelously gifted entertainer he is to-day? Quite the greatest single artist we have ever had here, and in this laudatory tribute I voice the opinion of all who witnesses his marvelous skill at all performances yesterday. His was a flattering reception, truly well-deserved.
16 minutes fs. Special set. Close in one. Special drop. Four girls and a man banjoist in a very pretty singing act, introducing the old-time Southern songs of the ‘60s. Beautifully staged, and while a bit quiet, went over very well indeed.
17 minutes in one. Olio drop. A couple of Boston boys in songs and dances. They had a great many friends in the audience at both performances, which may account for the exceptionally [sic] manner in which they got over.
17 minutes fs. Special set. This man plays about every kind of an instrument every invented. His attempts at comedy are very painful. Ten minutes would be plenty for this act. Just passed, and that’s all.
33 min. Assisted by Ted Shawn, two other dancers and a ballet of six girls. All the dancers are of the classical kind, beautifully staged and dressed and splendidly executed. Each number held strict attention from a crowded house, there was liberal applause for each dance and at the finish Miss St. Denis was forced to answer several curtain calls.
22 min. Comedian works from the audience, assisted by a girl and a straight man on the stage. They have changed the comedy talk at the opening and do a burlesque shooting bit after the trampoline feats. Registered a big laughing hit.
Song, dance and comedy, 2 men, 17 min. (1). The same two ‘nuts’ with the same parcel of ‘nutty’ nonsense as when here before kept the laughs many anf [sic] frequent, and success rewards their efforts on this, their second visitation within two years.
Musical, 2 ladies, 1 man, 15 min, C.D.F. A rip-roaring, roisterous [sic] bang-up of noise for a finish, with a few moments of melody in the earlier session, gave pleasure and received excellent applause. Our audiences yesterday evidently appreciated a volume of noise rather than the more agreeable strains of melody naturally looked for a musical offering.
Song, dance & comedy. (2) 13 minutes. Comedy produces gales of laughter, and the eccentric dancing, in which the act abounds, is very funny and the laughs were continuous throughout. NOTE: Two dancing on a three-act bill does not make much variety and there was a very discernible note of ‘sameness.’
