Bush and Peyser
Bush and Peyser have arranged an entertaining
routine of comedy acrobatics.
Chiquita “The Doll Lady”
Eugene Trio
The act was seven minutes long on the full stage.
This triple act on the horizontal bars has greatly improved since they debuted in New York three years ago. The clown’s makeup is now superb and he gets laughs easily while performing on the bars. The two straight men do a double somersault trick that is quite impressive.
Uno Bradley
The act was fourteen minutes long.
Uno Bradley is a singing monologist who appears in blackface. “He has a habit of waiting for people to laugh after telling a ‘gag’.”
Williams, Ottoman, and Co.
This farcical sketch was twenty-four minutes long.
Three women and three men who are all good looking play a farce with many entrances and exits. At one point in the sketch, the men drink poison one at a time. It is soon revealed to be a sleeping powder administered by the women, rather than a deadly poison.
Edith Clifford
The act was ten minutes long.
Edith Clifford is a blonde singer with “a pretty dress” from the West. She sings some songs in a “Yiddish” dialect, as well as some in the style of English music.
Mintz and Palmer
The act was fourteen minutes long.
This male and female team sings and does “crossfire” talk. They are dressed in good clothes which add an air of class to the performance.
Brown and Moulton
This piano act was eighteen minutes long.
Al Brown (formerly of Cooper and Brown) plays the piano with Miss Moulton. Miss Moulton wears two pleasing gowns throughout the act.
Mr. Brown plays with pretend carelessness which comes across as indifference.
Herman and Shirley
The act was eleven minutes long.
Herman is a contortionist (formerly of Byers and Herman) and Miss Shirley is his assistant. Herman wears a skeleton costume as he contorts his body.
Three Bohemians
The act was fourteen minutes long.
The Three Bohemians are similar to the Three Vagrants in makeup. They play the guitar, violin, and accordion. None are talented enough to be soloists.
