21 min. A group of eleven Scotch girls and boys in native songs and dances. A very pretty and highly entertaining number which scored solidly in the closing position and held the house well seated following Miss Tanguay. Wyatt is to be commended on the appearance on the act, both scenically and in the matter of costumes.
21 min. A big reception from a crowded house and applause which lasted all through her act and for several minutes after she had finished attested the fact that Miss Tanguay is still “there” as vaudeville’s biggest headliner. She sang four new songs, gave a recitation and finished with “I Don’t Care.” Her costumes caused gasps of astonishment. It can easily be said that Miss Tanguay was never seen nor heard here to better advantage.
In Mrs. Temple’s Telegram. 28 min. The condensed version of this splendid farce so well and popularly known on the legitimate stage serves as an excellent vehicle for Mr. Morris, a popular legitimate star, supported by a splendid company. It proved a laugh winner from start to finish and closed to a great hand.
A high class dancing act with a program consisting of seven numbers, three of them by Mlle. Vadie and three by a ballet of six young girls, finishing with a number by Vadie and the ballet. Very prettily staged and the dancing is excellent. Was received with liberal applause. (18 min)
15 min. This is a dramatic sketch telling a story of the racetrack which has been playing the vaudeville circuit for several seasons. It is still a good piece of property and was very well received.
Man & woman. In full stage. 15 min. Special set. Comedy jugglers and acrobat. Not agreat [sic] deal of juggling but a lot a crazy comedy the actfinishing [sic] with patrons throwing apples and the juggler catching them on a fork held in his mouth. Went fair.
Hoop roller, 10 minutes, full stage. Here is a performer very skillful in his specialty, in fact, quite the cleverest we have seen since Everhart himself started vaudeville with his brilliant hoop manipulation. Wilbert is very successful here, and he pleased all audiences.
Acrobats, 9 minutes, full stage special set. Much like others of its kind, lots of their stuff was worn threadbare by the Byrnes Bros. years ago, so their comedy is very old. Their ‘straight’ is fair, but not alarming, and I think there were many better features here many times.
Monologist, 14 minutes (1). A good line of comedy handled like a master makes a good impression and is well received. In a town where three fourths of the population is of French extraction one can readily perceive the difficulties that would naturally beset an Irish comedian, but in this instance there is no antipathy noticeable and he and his offering was a real success.
20 minutes in one. Olio drop. A classic Italian piano player who would give the entire show if he was permitted to do so. The audience listened politely and gave him a hand on each of his numbers, but it was very evident that the greater majority of them were merely bored. When they come to Keith’s they want vaudeville.
