Al Jerome
“The Silent Fool.” Slight of hand tricks; also juggling; Balancing on one finger, etc. He maintains silence all through his act. Received a few laughs through act and a fair hand at finish. 10 min. full.
Cevene Troupe
9 min in full stage spec. Five people in a very clever wire act, with a novel and pretty stage setting. Held audience finely.
Florance Nash & Co.
17 min in full stage. A typical small time sketch and created but little interest. Might appeal to the Bronx.
Miss Leitzel
9 min in full stage. Allowing for three straight acts Miss Leitzel did well. She does some great ring and aerial work.
Russell & Devitto
8 min in 1. Acrobatic dancers. Went over well.
The Stanleys
10 min in full stage. Two men in an exceptional hand balancing and acrobatic act. Excellent opener.
Lorraine Sisters
Assisted by a man at the piano who also plays a xylophone number very badly. The girls are dancers who would be acceptable in the average musical comedy chorus. We have dozens who dance better. Regardless of what it costs them to operate the act isn’t worth over $250 over the footlights. 14 minutes full stage.
Kevan & Flint
Comedy nut act. The man has some new ideas and they held down this spot satisfactorily. 14 minutes in one.
The Lightner Girls and Alexander Review
Miss Winnie Lightner is a clever comedienne for about 5 minutes. When she carries her work of mugging and eccentric body contortions through 35 minutes of a review in which she is in evidence most of the time, she grows rather tiresome. There is not a great deal of merit in any part of the act but lots of life and go, no exceptional ability shown by any member excepting a little girl who did a dance lasting about three minutes, who was given the cream of applause both during her act and at the curtain calls. 35 minutes full stage.
Marion Harris
Miss Harris was a little bit disappointing to me. The first part of her act dragged considerably and she didn’t score until she reached Dapper Dan, which was her next to the last song and her last one also went big. The act is allright but when Miss Harris talks about being sole headliner as far as Providence is concerned, she is crazy because she isn’t worthy even to share the headline position. A good act but that is all. 19 minutes in one.
