Felix Adler
19 minutes in one. Olio drop. Adler has not appeared here in a very long time. Has little new stuff, but he got over very well indeed. The finish with our propertyman as a ventriloquist’s dummy, was a riot.
“Passion Play of Washington Square”
17 minutes fs. Dark library interior. Comedy drama with a surprise finish, well played by Alma Tell and company. Miss Tell was here with “Peg O’ My Heart” during its long run, and is well known in Boston. This act was one of the bright spots of the show.
Elsie Janis
23 min. For her return as a vaudeville star, this little artiste registered an emphatic hit. She did six songs with her imitations and used an impersonation of Franck Tinney. Closed her act with a dance and used an extra impersonation for her encore bit. Each was greeted with hearty applause and she was forced to take several curtain calls.
Charles Olcott
19 min. In an original travesty called “A Comic Opera in Ten Minutes.” This young fellow at the piano was a big applause hit. He followed his travesty with a burlesque piano number that left the audience applauding several minutes. As an encore bit, he did a comedy recitation that brought him more laughs and an extra hand of applause.
Farber Girls
22 min. These two girls put over a tremendous hit and their comedy songs. They did five numbers, all of them new and every one scoring individually. They could have continued indefinitely, being forced to take several bows at the finish.
Paul Dulzell & Co.
Sketch, 3 men, 16 min. Full stage, special set. Well-written and exceedingly capably acted sketch, the audience receiving it with better spirit than any playlet presented here for a long, lomg [sic] time. In view of the town’s antipathy to sketches in general, the reception of this one was most gratifying.
Horace Wright & Rene Dietrich
Songs, lady and man, 18 minutes (1). Positively the finest lady and man duo ever seen here. Sing they certainly can, and their programme is a most excellent one. A delicious vein of humour, just the right added touch to give it ‘that something different’ tinge helps in making a truly successful offering.
Guy Bartlett
Blackface comedian, 18 min. (1) Some of his material is a bit timeworn, but it kept the laughter quite continuous, and the applause would indicate quite a success. He has been here too many times and there were many who remembered this fact.
Sam and Kitty Morton
17 minutes in one. Street drop. About the same act they gave us three years ago, without a single new line. They have added an of Sousa and the original old-time song and dance they did in 1881, but the gags are all the same and many of the audience apparently knew what was coming the next minute. Just about held the spot, and that is all.
Clarence Oliver and Georgie Olf
In “Discontent.” 12 minutes fs. Special set. This is an allegorical playlet with its scene laid in a country railroad station. The plot does not amount to much, but the splendid acting of two excellent players puts the sketch over. Held the interest and received a fair hand at the finish.
