Violet Carlson
The Mite-y Comedienne. 4 ft. 6 in. in height, 3 ft. 4 in. in voice. Singing act, Impersonating different actresses with a change of costume for each number. Received a few hands thro act and a fair hand at finish. 10 min. in one.
York & King
From Arkansas. Man and woman. This couple are dressed as way back in the 60’s — they sing, dance and a lot of talking. Received plenty of laughs thro act and a good hand at finish. 15 min. in one.
Australians Deslos
A whirl, A Twirl, A Wonderful Girl. Singing and dancing; also, perform on the trapeze. A very neat act, but went over rather weak. 9 min. full.
The Rials
The act offered by these people now could hardly be cleansed as a ring act, although they introduced some work on the rings at the start of their performance, the rest of it is made up almost entirely of talk a lot of it is quite funny and the audience seemed to enjoy it. The act could be placed to better advantage on No. 3, although when playing with Brown & O’Donnel on the bill, it is better to have it closing the show or after Brown & O’Donnel somewhere, as these boys work during the act in a manner similar to Joe cook with the Alexander Brothers. They held the audience wonderfully well and Brown & O’Donnell’s monkey work went far to helping out. Made quite a finish for the show. Altogether the act consumes 15 minutes full stage.
Brown & O’Donnell
A couple of young fellows doing nut comedy and getting a lot of laughs in their act and applause at the finish. A hit. 18 min. in one.
Francis Renault
Mr. Renault is a Providence boy and to that I think may be attributed the big hit he made yesterday. He has a good act, but hardly in line with some of the other impersonators that we have had. 16 min. full stage.
Eddie Foyer
The first part of Mr. Foyer’s act is entirely waste of time, the poorest kind of comedy. The last part gets considerably applause. But I think that the greater part of the audience realized that it is largely bunk and I noticed considerable uneasiness among the audience. He may know one thousand poems, but although I have seen the act several times, he always does the Dan McGrew poem for the opening and a choice of two to be selected by the audience. Of the others he seems to know a few lines. I don’t think much of it as a vaudeville act. 24 min. and it seemed like an hour. In one.
Derkin’s Animals
A good pantomime dog act, but somehow or other, the act grows shorter each time it plays here. This time they are giving us six minutes. This may be due somewhat to Mr. Derkin’s feeling very poorly. He thinks he has the flu or something.
Kara
Well known European juggler, who, the last time we played him, some years ago, was our headliner. Today, although he is just as good as ful commentary of the progress of vaudeville. Splendid act. 14 min. full stage.
McIntosh & Musical Maids
Scotch Singers and Dancers, Featuring the Basson Brass Instrumental Maids. Three women and a man. They play brass instruments; also, play piano, violin and bagpipes; sing and dance Scottish airs. Received hands thro act and a big hand at finish. 14 min. full.
