22 min. In a new dancing novelty called “Around the Compass.” An elaborate stage setting in three scenes and attractive costuming makes a pretty stage picture of this new act and the boys and girls do a routine of varied styles of dancing with some songs introduced. A plantation number brought them liberal applause at the finish and they closed very strong with lively dancing bit.
15 min. “The Actor and the Italian.” These two men, one working straight and the other in the character of an Italian, have very good singing and talking act. Their material is well handled and got plenty of laughs. They also did two comedy songs which brought good results. Were forced to take several bows at the finish.
Harpist and singer. This boy has always been a favorite here. The audience yesterday were evidently glad to see him, and were pleased with his work. 14 minutes in one.
Ragtime singer and Russian dancer. Personally, I don’t care for the act, except his dancing of about two minutes at the close of his act. The first part of the act went only fairly, but his dancing was a big hit. The audience seemed to like him. 10 minutes in one.
Variety skit introducing some excellent acrobatic-comedy-dancing and little smart talking and a “hoorah finish.” The only objection to the act is its brevity; otherwise excellent. 10 minutes. Opens in one and a half; close full stage.
“The Variety Girl.” Opening in one with singing and dancing; then to full stage on the wire, talkingall [sic] the time, then with the bicycle, windup with acrobatic stunts. 10 min; went good.
Works in one 14 min. Cartoons drawn upside down while talking on the election. A good line of talk, cartoons on Bryan, Roosevelt, Uncle Sam etc. This man resembles WILSON. Went good.
Man and woman in one with two men asst. comedy offering “nut” comedians. Woman sings and has a good voice. Inglis third appearance doing about the same line of comedy, but they went over good. 20 min.
Boy and girl work in full stage 10 min. Piano and singing offering of a classic nature which while it was very good it was not appreciated. At the night show the audience made fun of boy. Went fair. He has short pants on and it very tall.
In “Maggie Taylor – Waitress.” 27 minutes f.s. Special set. A splendid comedy sketch, with real heart interest, written around an old waitress’ love for automobiles. A real Hudson Six is used upon the stage, about which most of the action and dialogue revolves. Held the interest every minute, got many laughs, and a strong finish.
