14 min. F.S. This is certainly a novelty, but judging from today’s audience is not at all what this house wants as a closing act. After the first goal had been scored, the audience got up and walked out in a body, the act receiving little, if any, applause. Was very much surprised as reports on the act thought it had been a sure fire closer. Have put it in number three tonight and will watch it again to see how it fares. Supplementary Report: 12 min. F.S. The first performance of this team, while realized as a novelty, did not hold the interest of the audience satisfactorily in the closing spot and was consequently moved up to third place. The difference in the impression made was very marked, not only on account of their infusing into their work much more ginger, piling up an aggregation of fourteen points against five at their first performance, with some sensational plays which received generous applause. In this spot on the bill and the swiftness of the act as it is going now, it is proving entirely satisfactory.
