Berzac’s “Riding Academy”

The act was twenty-one minutes long on the full stage. In his new comedy act, Cliff Berzac used a “mechanic”, which is a pole that holds a horse-rider into place as they ride around the ring in a circus. Berzac acts as the “riding instructor” and uses this mechanic for comedy. He attaches supposedly inexperienced riders to the mechanic where an “unridable mule” proceeds to bounce them around. Cliff also rides a horse around barebacked.

Lavell and Grant

The act was eleven minutes long. Lavell and Grant do a posing and acrobatic act which is similar to that of the Rigoletto Brothers. “The understander is a heavily built chap, with tremendous strength in his arms.”

Three Cooke Sisters

The act was ten minutes long. The act was formerly a quartet and sings rag numbers. The trio looks and sings well.

Nip and Tuck

The act occupied seven minutes on the full stage. The comic contortionist performs in clown make-up and contorts his body into “ludicrous positions”.

Hugh Blaney

Hugh Blaney is an expressive singer who uses effective hand gestures and is new to Broadway. He appeared second on the bill and performed four songs.

Yuill and Boyd

The act is a male and female act with two dogs, one “pretty bull” and one ugly “mut”. The couple talks and the dogs do tricks. During the finale, the man does a “stereotyped travesty ballet dance.” The act was eighteen minutes long.

Lavina Shannon

Divided into four scenes. The thirs scene dealt with the matinee girl who was and an interview with the manager, showing a bright and bashful girl. The final scene spoiled the cleverly told story as the end can be anticipated.
