THE SHOW WORLD 6 PAUL SITTNER SUES MORRIS AND ASSOCIATES Charges Criminal Conspiracy in Case Started in Superior Court by His Attorney, Adolph Marks SIS SSJ GLORIA DARE. —16 Seen—Ontury. Chicago, Oct. 4, 1910. Place on Bill —Third. Number of women, 2. Scenery Required—Interior in Four. Remarks—Evelyn Weingardner Blan¬ chard has supplied Miss Dare with quite a clever vehicle. Her assistant is a maid who has no lines. There are several features in connection with the act which make it difficult to say how It would be received on big time. In the hands of some actress with a big reputation it would be certain to be ac¬ ceptable. As it is, it attracted atten¬ tion at the Century. The character is a girl about to be married, who tries on her trousseau in view of the audience, plays the piano and sipgs and for a cli¬ max receives a letter from an old ad¬ mirer, whom she still loves, which changes her mood and leaves her weep¬ ing as the curtain falls. Miss Dare is not sufficiently clever as an entertainer to make the pianolog part of the act CHRISTOPHER & PONTE. Billing—Songs. Talk and Instrumental Music. ^COass—"C.” No. 418. Time—16 Min- Seen— Verdi. Chicago, Oct. 5, 1910. Place on Bill—Next to Closing. Scenery Required—Street in One. Remarks —This act is comparatively new. Tt would not be surprising if the hoys are heard of on the big time in the future. Joe Christopher does the bulk of the singing and Jimmie Ponte Plays the guitar and accordeon. They open as street singers. One carries a guitar. The opening song is followed by talk about manners. It is along usual lines, but is novel for an Italian Jr.,, The boys ma<Je a hit at the Verdi, running clear away from anything else on the bill. JOHN E.
