Garcinetto Brothers
Garcinetto Brothers closed with novelty hat throwing, getting laughs by throwing large ball into audience. They were aided by a well trained bulldog and held the audience in.
Adrian
Adrian and his stage hand plants followed and kept ‘em guessing. He started slow, but when the plants walked out, one of them doing comedy, they couldn’t miss. One of the high spots of the act was one of the plants’ singing of “Broadway Rose.”
Jean Gordon Players
Jean Gordon Players, a novelty skit with songs and dances, proved another hit. It consists of two men and two women, all in Scotch dress, and has a slight plot, just enough to make it interesting. The straight man has a sweet tenor voice and when he sings he thrills the audience.
Fisher and Hurst
Fisher and Hurst, the man doing Hebrew character to the woman’s straight, came next. The woman possesses a crackerjack “blued” voice and she sings several snappy jazz songs, getting a good hand after each. The man has a good dialect and puts over his Jewish gags to advantage.
Maye Hunt
Maye Hunt, another veteran of the world’s war, introduces herself with a slide, which informs the audience that she was the first woman performer to go into Germany to entertain the boys of Army Occupation. She is a tall, stately, Titian-haired beauty, who has an abundance of personality and a winning manner that makes it possible to bend the audience to her will. She tells stories, using a catch phrase of “You know what I mean” or “Do you get the idea?” She also wears a marvelous gown and proves that she knows how to dress. She has a very pleasant singing voice and delivered one of the applause hits of the bill. She can easily walk into an early spot on the big time and hold it with ease.
Eight Lunatic Chinks
Eight Lunatic Chinks, formerly the Eight Lunatic Bakers, but new wigs, new act, but with the same old routine, including the old boxing bit. A good flash for the small time.
Coakley and Dunlevy
Coakley and Dunlevy, a two-man blackface team with a special set showing trenches, came next and got laughs all through the act, but could not get much in the way of applause. They put across their stuff with a wallop, and one of the men sings two ballads that slow up the running. The material and act is out of date, and the audience didn’t care to be reminded of the war.
Fred Weber
Fred Weber and company followed. They open, the dummy sitting on a bench talking, with nobody in view on the stage, the man later coming out of cut-out in a special drop, then going through a routine of comedy cross-fire talk, and finished with a yodel and walks off to noisy hand, falling to come back for a bow.
Vee and Telly
Vee and Telly, a man and woman, assisted by a dog, did some excellent hand-to-hand balancing and tumbling. This act should have closed the show, Arnold and Sobol found it hard to hold the next to closing spot.
Harvey Devora Trio
Harvey Devora Trip, another black and tan act, with two men and a lady, one of the men doing wench, got big laugh out of their hoak all through the act, but walked off to hardly anything.
