Year: 1919

Whiting & Burt

24 min. in one Spec. This well known singing act started a little slowly following the big act, but closed to a very good hand.

Fallon & Brown

19 min. in one. These boys livened up the show, getting lots of laughs and closing to a good hand.

Prosper & Maret

8 min. F.S. Spec. Clever hand balancing act, did nicely in this spot.

Joseph De Kos Company

(6 mins.) A great acrobatic act by six persons. The arrangement of the show which put them in closing position at the matinee was changed and they held down the earlier spot in fine shape. The act has made good here every time we have played it.

Jimmy Hussey & Co. in “Move On”

(42 mins.) A big laughing and applause hit from start to finish. Hussey was given a great reception on his entrance and from then on it was simply one laugh after another. A great big flash act with plenty of comedy and it cannot fail on any bill. In fact it went over so big this afternoon it killed the rest of the show and for the balance of the week will close the show.

Jean Adair & Co. in “Ella Comes to Town”

(30 mins.) A new sketch and a real classic. A little talky at the start but arousing a great deal of interest as the story progresses and all through the last half Miss Adair and her company had the audience not only interested but very much amused. It is entirely different from any of the other ones we have played and finished very strong.

Jack Lavier

(16 mins.) Comedy chatter mixed with his clever balancing on a trapeze got a lot of laughs and was given a big hand at the finish. His work on the trapeze is a sensational bit but is enlivened by talk. The combination from a very good act in one.

“Playmates”

(20 mins.) a group of juveniles, including four girls and two boys in a series of songs, dances and violin playing. Very pretty novelty, especially for the young folks, and it got over in very shape finishing to a big hand.
