In a sketch “Who Is She?”. Not quite as satisfactory as when played before. It seems that Mr. Bernard has played it so long that he has lost the sense of the value for the sketch. In many parts there is a decided over-acting which is detrimental. 17 minutes full stage.
Man and woman singing, violin and piano playing. No classical music used, mostly of a light nature and some hits from the present successful musical comedies are introduced. The people are both clever. There is a cleanliness about the act that is desirable and they have good voice and play fairly well. The act was a decided hit. in this spot. 14 minutes in one.
Mr. Hill is a crayon artist who uses just the face of a girl and upon this he fashions hats of many and various kinds, furs, coats, muffs etc., meanwhile carrying along a line of patter. It is a very unusual act, very clever and a good change from the stereotype opening act usual in vaudeville. 9 minutes in one and a half.
(5 mins.) One of the very best ring sets soon and it furnished a closing number that was as well received as any we have had in sometime.
(17 mins.) Still remains one of the real class musical turns we play regularly and was deservedly one of the applause hits of the show.
(38 mins.) This act was first produced in this house last fall and most of Miss Hoffmann’s dancers are Philadelphia girls. It is undoubtedly the best act Miss Hoffmann has done in years and repeated splendidly.
(22 mins.) Played this girl sometime ago in a double act but her single offering is very much better and she does a very classy singing turn. She has a lot of good songs, gets plenty out of them and makes a very nice appearance. Finished very strong.
(11 mins.) A lot of people had seen this act with the Follies and the addition of having Jim Harkins, a Philadelphian, as principal comedian, made this a very good comedy feature. It got a lot of laughs and made an excellent number for this spot.
(9 mins.) Two boys, clever steppers, with a good routine of dances. Did very nicely in the spot.
(14 mins.) A very good novelty and a bigger hit than any of the other seal acts we have played.
