Katherine Dana’s
“Fantasia.” 10 min f.s. Causing more comment than anything we have had for months, on account of both the scenic transformations and the voice, flute and music. Applause all through and very strong at finish.
Suzzane Rocamora Co.
Five girls – 16 min. f.s Entitled “At the Ladies Club.” Story told in song with a few interpolated numbers. These girls sing well; put plenty of life in their work, closing with a military number in one. Act went good.
Frosini
“The Man Who First Dignified the Accordeon in America” – plays several popular airs on the accordeon [sic] to the great delight of the audience – this fellow is surely master of the accordeon; 14 min. in one; went big.
Bob Hall
Extemporaneous comedian – singing and talking; he is very clever; makes most of his sayings and songs as he goes along – anyone in the audience of an act – 22 min in one went over very big.
“Corner Store”
This act certainly make them laugh in spite of its company of about as bad a lot of actors as ever I saw outside of an Ardath act. I think they are better than he had to his “Farm Act.” But let this discourage you, the audience ate it up. 18 minutes f.s.
Sterling & Marguerite
A ring act that opens in an unusual way; with a pretty fair song by the woman and a suggestion of dancing, then a few minutes of excellent ring work of which there is but little. A fast snappy act. 8 minutes; open in one and close in F.S.
“The Naughty Princess”
46 min. A farcical operetta in two scenes with music and lyrics by William H. Friedlander and book by Will M. Hough. There is a large company of principals and chorus and plenty of action to the place. The comedy, however, does not get the results that it should in a big production of this kind, nor is the singing above the average. In the closing position, it got a fair amount of laughs and the big comedy scene which is laid in a bungalow bedroom held the audience seated. The climax comes rather suddenly and without carrying through the story to a good finish. The act went just about fair.
Adele Rowland
17 min. As the headliner of this bill, she came fully up to expectations repeating the big hit made here last season. Most of her numbers are patriotic songs which she got over with good results and after her regular program the applause last long enough to bring her back for an encore. Harry De Costa accompanied her at the piano.
Howard’s Ponies
15 min. The fact that Howard keeps his act freshened up by the introduction of new tricks with the dogs and ponies makes this one of the best animal acts in vaudeville, It was places earlier than usual on the bill but held the spot in excellent shape and gave the first half of the show a big boost.
Seabury & Shaw
9 min. A series of dance numbers opening with a song in one and going to full stage. The eccentric dancing of the man is the big feature of the act and with a very good double number, then finished to a good hand.
