The New York Clipper (May 1913)

Mat 3 THS NEW YORK CLIPPER. 19 £ ion)ause, and was really deserving of a later •not on the 1>U1. MJndb» number 8 appeared, according; to the rosTam, the "novor novelty, a skit adapted) :rom too German by Phillip Barlbolomae, and entitled "And They Lived Happily Ever After." It is not a new act by any moans, and was seen a snort wMle back at the Mar SHiJe, but It is a good laugh-maker, and never lis to make a good Impression, If for noth- ing more than Ito being different. It Is a bur- lesque from start to finish on author's figure of speech and puns, and 1b extremely ridicu- lous If not humorous. Those taking part are:' Thomas Gray, Clay Clement Jr., Helen Du- bois, Kenneth Stuart, Frances Shannon, James Mace. Tiro of vaudeville's most charming enter- tainer* are Constance and Irene Barber, In their original bits of vaudeville. Tbey hare a way all of their own to make you like tbem, but ©eat of all, they have tbe ability of real comediennes back of It all, and know how to put over good, clean comedy. The nurnier Is prettily costumed, contains pleas- ing songs and a bit of rare dancing which, by way of summing up, is a strong combina- tion. Tbey pleased Immensely at the Palace, which is somewhat of a critical audience. Following the Farber Slaters appeared Jo. Boganny's "Royal Lunatic Bakers," In their whirlwind offering. "Fun In a Bake- house." It is an acrobalc and tumbling act of rare exception, and Is really funny, which Is extraordinary for an act of this sort, despite all the advertising to that effect. There 1b something doing every minute, and some part of the troupe Is here, there, In and out all of the time, offering some new formation or original stunt. The act Is one by Itself. Lewis ado Dody had not the slightest trouble In making a "hit" of the best type in spot six. Two character comedians, one natural In his line, tbey are a riot of laughs from start to finish, besides being the pos- sessors of good voices with which to put over their songs. The patter la clean, snappy and original, and they close with a parody tbat brings them, a storm of applause. One of tbe most delightful and comical acts in vaudeville, bar none. Is that of Walter Kelly, as the "Virginia Judge." Mr. Kelly, long in the business and well known here in Chicago vaudeville houses, never falls to amuse to the limit, and makes a host of new admirers at each performance. His entire time Is - devoted to clean-cut humor and wit, as taken from a docket court In Virginia. Mr. Kelly also adds to tbe attrnc- tlveuess by telling bis stories In an excep- tionally Southern dialect It is good, solid fun throuhgout. The show was closed by Ameta In a series of sensational and unique dances. This Is the flrat time Ameta lnm worked for six weeks, owing to an accident which happened to her while playing at tbe Columbia, in St. Louis. The arrangement of mirrors and the effective lighting which the dancer uses, makes a very pretty stage setting, and ranks the number among the top notchers in its line.' GREAT NORTHERN HIPPODROME. A snow well worth the time and money spent In witnessing It, and balanced to a nicety by Manager Eberta, amused the many thousands of natrons at the Great Northern Hippodrome the past week. The program was extraordinarily emphasized by having The Great Raymond for a "headline" attrac- tion. Mr, itaymond recently closed a suc- cessful run at the Studebaker Theatre, whero he' mystified Chlcagoans with his baffling skill for a fortnight. This was hla first ap- pearance In a theatre where such popular prices of admission are In vogue, and a great many eagerly accepted the opportunity of such a bargain. It was hard to realize that Manager Bberts arranged matters so that his patrons might be able to see an artist who commands a weekly stipend of $2,000, for the nominal sums of ten, twenty and thirty cents, but tbat Is what the Great Raymond acquired In compensation for a week's work at this theatre, and that Is just what they charged to see him. . The rest of tbe bill, although being slightly over shadowed by the "ii. u." proved equal to the situation, and all retired with a good send off, Thh Daring Darts started the show. Two likely chaps, who offered an aerial novelty of interesting procedure and a bit of crack rifle markamanshlp. The act Is good for Its kind, but It la of tbe sort tbat is bound to drag In places and go a bit slow on account of the balancing features Introduced. The boys worked hard to please and were appre- ciated, although we must add that as It stands the number will never be able to pluy much larger time, at least "big*' time. There la a noticeable lack of "punch," not so much About tbe performers as the act Itself. In the second position Marshall, a clever crayon artist, nmuaed with bis caricatures and pictures. There Is not much to be said •bout an act of this sort, excepting, perhaps, tbat It pleased the audience to nave him draw his funny pictures, especially when he Sicked one of their own members out to raw. Mr. Marshall closed by drawing a very good picture of George Washington, which was bound to bring n patriotic hand if nothing else. It would be easily passible to improve the act by adding a snappy mono- logue or a catch phrase here and there. Bnydbr and Buckley, an act seen about Chicago a number of times, were next to appear. The number contains several cumlc musical novelties, and their "two men" bond, which, closed the act proved to bo the fea- ture of tbe entire offering. They Introduce a number of original stunts, the comedy is fair, the music catcby, at least loud, and the duo retired with a very nice hand. The American Newsboys' Quartette pre- ceded the Great Raymond. ■The boys easily made good, but tbo majority were anxious for the "hondllnor," and they did not re- ceive the encores which might have been coming to them at any other time. They In- troduced one comedian, the other three being straight. The comedy 8/ppeartd a little amateurish at times, although It seemed to "get by" with the majority, In view of toe fact that the singing was very good. All the musical numbers were both pleasing and well delivered. . .. . The Great Raymond occupied the stago last on the bill. The act uses tbe full stage, and is effectively presented to the onlooker with the large drops and' the various con- trivances with -which the wizard . mystifies; and startles his audience. While a number of the stunts were not new, still they were so dexterously manipulated tbat It; was a piensure to see'any of them over again. The "star" !■ undoubtedly a peer as a magician, and a wonderful entertainer.
