George Lashwood
Mr. Lashwood returns to America after having debuted for the first time in America last season at the Plaza to great success. “George is due to repeat that success if Monday night’s holiday audience can be taken as a criterion.” As dapper and dashing as ever Lashwood dressed, cavorted and sang his way through six songs. Good solid applause came from all parts of the house.
Irwin’s Majestics
The few changes that have been made to “The Majestics” act have not altered the running of the show, leaving it “one of the best burlesque shows that the Eastern Wheel can boast of.” The show has a steady and snappy pace from start to finish, providing plenty of evidence that those employed earn their money.
“Girl” Act
The opening of this twenty minute act, starring De Haven and Jack Sidney, marks the one novelty of the show. The boys are shown in a hotel lobby conversing in song using telephones as the girls sing their replies, telephones in hand, from theatre boxes. The act continues with several songs with dance including a section of double dancing for De Haven and Sidney, a winter scene and a grand finale that falls flat
At The Ball
Eddie Horan
“Eddie Horan hasn’t any business on the ‘small time.’ He is by far too clever a dancer. Eddie should be with a production of his own.” In this current offering Eddie misses calculations leaving his whiteface work, monologue and recitation failing to gain him praise. His dancing, however, is another story as he draws from previous successes as a feature in prominent minstrel organizations.
Familia Bell
“This act will easily hold down any spot on the big time. Seven men and two women are in the act, all thorough musicians.” “There is enough to the repertoire to satisfy both lovers of the ‘rag’ and the ‘heavy stuff.’ The act while at present is an excellent number for any big time card, shows possibilities for a better routine.” Thirty minutes proves to be not too much. The details are appreciated including the attention paid to the Spanish Bandalero costumes.
Billy Chase
“With a good personality, a fair singing voice, an immaculate appearance in evening dress and ‘Lovely Joe’ with original verses for the opening, Chase started off flying.” “Chase puts his material over well, but with just a slight overabundance of confidence, tending to handicap his earlier efforts.” “A little less facial contortion and easier style approaching the encore will improve.” In the next to closing position, Billy Chase caught on at once with the audience.

Emalie Lea and the Lucifers
This act consists of two dancers, Miss Lea and Miss Lucifer, and Mr. Lucifer performing as a comedic contortionist. These performers present a mixture of dancing, comedy, contortions and semi-acrobatics.
