Coloratura soprano and tenor. Personally I am not so crazy about the singing in this act, I don’t believe Miss Weeks is singing as well as she used to. The production is very pretty, however, and the whole thing has an atmosphere of class and the singing seemed to please the audience. 16 min. full stage, can close in one.
In “Smiles” – This is an acrobatic act with some talking supposed to be comedy. The comedy is not very good, but it got over alright as a whole and was satisfactory in this position. 10 min. full stage.
(11 mins.) This is a remarkable act of ball-bouncing and their own routine scored solidly. Joe Cook works all through this act, doing bits of all kinds of stuff and injecting a lot of comedy. From the way it went with our audience we do not hesitate to say that it is the best of these combination acts we have yet seen.
(17 mins.) He was just as big a laughing hit as on his previous visit, keeping the house in a roar of laughter and applause.
(17 mins.) One of the big applause hits of the show. The whole act shows a lot of improvement since last season, Miss Beri’s dancing being as good as any we have played. The act got applause all the way through and closed to a tremendous hand.
(21 mins.) A first rate comedy turn by two men, one working in blackface. Most of their material is “nut” comedy with the one in white face doing straight. The latter also sings a couple of ballads in good voice. It is a new combination, Kramer formerly being of Kramer & Morton. Got over in fine shape.
(36 mins.) A high class playlet by a favorite author, J.M. Barrie, and a sketch that is strong enough to hold the headline position very satisfactorily. Very well played by a company of eight persons. Mme. Besson doing splendid work in the principal role. Held the closest interest from start to finish. Closed to a very warm hand.
(23 mins.) A “nut” comedy by a man and woman. They have a lot of good laughing material and introduce a couple of songs and some stopping. Got good results and put over a laughing hit.
(21 mins.) She did very well. The novelty of making her changes in view of the audience commands attention the way it is handled and she livens up her work with some good songs and some chatter. Closed to a very good hand.
(15 mins.) For a straight singing four these boys rank as one of the best we play and they held down this spot in very good shape. This act is worthy of a much better spot, which we are unable to give them this week. Closed to a good hand.
