Variety (Jan 1906)

VARIETY. t« faro* termed "A Trip to the Races," which was one of the best things of the evening, although havins been seen here before. Lena Bruce and Clara Dagneau have a novelty act that went well with a portion of the house. Tom Mor- riaey and Anna Rich made a decided hit In "Bargain Day In Vaudeville," and Sansone and Dellla, athletes, were pleasing. MADAME PITT. B«ltinM>re» Md. MARYLAND (F. C. Schanberger, mgr.).— Week 1. A splendid bill for New Year's week drew crowded houses, the headUner being Jo- sephine Cohan and her admirable little com- pany In the clever sketch "Friday the 13th," In which Miss Cohan's singing and dancing are the features, although Fred. Niblo, who took the fiart of the burglar at short notice, owing to the llness of Edward Powers, made quite a hit. After the act of Mr. Will Rogers, the lariat thrower, in which he is assisted by Buck Magee, ex-Sheriff of Oklahoma, which greatly pleased, Mr. Niblo again appeared in his original mono* logue. The other numbers were Paul Conchas, the German military Hercules, who juggled 5(X>- pound Krupp shells and tossed cannon balls as if they were made of rubber. Dora Pellatler sang herself Into the hearts of the audience and gave perfect Imitations of Fay Templeton, George M. Cohan, Elfle Fay and Chevalier, the Coster singer; EckhofF and Gordon do an artistic and amusing musical act, while Brasil and Brazil do a novel acrobatic comedy act, while the Kineto- graph closes the show. Next week S. Miller Kent and company, Sam Watsun's Farmyard, the Six Perrl Sisters, Celina Bobe, Lew Hawkins, the ParroB Brothers, LeRoy and Woodford, Wiz- ard and Irene Stone and the Kinetograph. MONUMENTAL (Joseph Kernan, mgr.).—Week 1. Sim Williams' Ideal Extravaganza Company is playing to crowded houses. The bill opens with a musical comedy in two acts, called "Everyday Life." In which Frank O'Brien has the leading comedy part and is assisted by a good company. Including a flne female chorus, who have good voices. The comedy is enlivened with specialties which are Introduced by Gruet and Gruet. blackface comedians, who sing and dance and play upon a variety of musical In- struments. Frank O'Brien in his monologue made a big hit, while the Livingston family of gymnasts did some wonderful acrobatic feats, and the Ladles' Ideal Quartette responded to encores until they were completely tired out. Taking the show as a whole, it compared fa- vorably with any burlesque show that played Kernan's so far this season. Next week Sam I>evere's Own Company. N O T B S.—The J-'tones, Wizard and Irene, trick bicyclists, lost lh«lr revolving globe in shipment and were un- able to appear without it, so will play next week. Paul Conchas was substituted In their place at the Maryland this week. Baltimore is the Mecca for soubrettee and song and dance men, who play dates at summer 8a4arie8, as there are no less than a dozen mu.sic halls and winter gardens, employing from eight to twelve per- formers each and every week during the season, and when they close the river resorts and car line parks open, and quite a few performers play this city and vicinity all the year round. MILTON. Baffalo, N. Y. SHEA'S (M. Shea, mgr.).—A strong bill pleased capacity houses the past week. Searl and Violet Allen company in "The New Reporter," an act of which not much was expected, proved to be a dark horse that easily won out In pleasing the audience most. A better dancer In place of Ber- tha Hoyt and one more good song would imi)rove the act. The Aerial Smiths offered one of the best acts of the kind ever seen at this house. Mr. Smith is fortunate in having so clever and neat appearing partner. Miss l!^izabeth Clarke, a Buffalo girl, has a sweet voice and was well re- ceived here, but cannot, or rather should not, expect to make good out of her home town In a single act. She would be more successful In musical comedy. Mile. Theresa Renz has a pleas. Ing act but it is unjust to Helene (>erard. and others who have better control of their horses, to class her as the greatest lady rider. The Kinetograph had a new film entitled "The Mil- ler's Daughter," which was really meritorious. Stnley and Blrbeck. Norton and Nicholson. Pic- colo Midgets and Billy Van offered their old acts. The bill for week of 8 Includi's Clayiun White and Marie Stuart, Navajo Girls, cilfTord »nd Burke. Cabaret's Dogs, I>ollar Troupe and Adolph Zlnck. GARDEN (Charles W. McMahoti. mgr.).— The New York Stars have a fairly good show. Raymond and Clark are thi' bpst in the olio. "Their act received much favorable com- ment about town on account of the number of original sayings they have. An original act In- variably sets Buffalo a-talking. The Majestic Mushai Four have a good act. being wise (.nough to stick to their Instruments and not attempt to be funny. The comedian does well in the comedy part, not overdoing it as Is usually the case In musical acts. LAKAYKTTK (Ch.-is. M. Bagg. mKr.).-R.'llly and Wood's Big Show Is a fairly good attraction. Dortli anil Fern were easily the best part of the performance. Daly and Ueno were al.«M) very well received. LINNS MUSEUM (Dr. I..lnn. mgr.).—Business here Is big at present. New face.s for w<-» k of 8 an : Caldwell and Went worth. B. Clinton Seeley, Lillian iKjuglas and Frank Farron CHAS. W. GOETZ. I/Oirell, Manii. OPERA HOUSE (Fay Brothers * Hosford. mgrs.).—Severin l>e Deyn. Isabelle Fletcher. Ma- belle Estelle and Donald Meek, member of the defunct Huntlnfton De Deyn Stock Company, scorid heavily In Bert Coote's one-act comedy, "Supper for Two." With the exception of Mr. Meek. It Is the first appearance of these clever artists In vaudeville. They are a worthy acqui- sition. They will remain Indefinitely. Others on the bill ate: Crane Brothers, the "Mud Town Rub«s. ' good; Smirl and Kes.iner, "The Bell Boy and the Waiting Maid." good; Zazelle and Ver- non, pantomimic comedy, fair; Kennedy and Cottrellv. comedy iugglera. good; Avon Comedy Four. "The New Teacher." big hit; Hubert D© Veaux. ripld sketch artist, good; Kinetograph. (jood. NOTE.-The Eight Poster Girls and Seymour Brown gave their flrst performance on any staee at this playhoiise last week. The act Is a big hit. HATH A WAY'S (Frank G. Mack. res. mgr.).—Big business week of 1. Bill Included Tom Nawn and Company. "Pat and the cienll," great; Blanche Sloan, trapeze, good: Tom Glllen. monologlst, good: Mme. Aver>' BtraHoech. prima donna, big hit; Howard and Bland. "A Strauge Boy." good; Ned Nye and Ivolilcklng Girls, including Reld Sisters, acrobatic dancers, Immense hit; Kinetograph, good. BOSTON (J. H. Tebbetts, mgr.).—Big business as Ubual week of 1. BUI Included Fisher and Johnbon, trick bicyclists, good; Hilton, original Hebrew juggler, fair; Steele and Benolt, singers and dancers, moderately good; Hallman and Gcnella, "Shultz's Courtship," good; moving pic- tures, good. —PEOPLE'S (Harry Woodward, mgr.).—-Great business week of 1, but shoyv on the wnole Is only mediocre. The Joyces, Pat and Mabel, are doing fairly well with a new sketch; Perkins and Catrelle, sketch artists, fair; Cora Evelyn, singer and dancer, as good aa the ordi- nary; Maggie Lancaster, comedienne, does well with a budget of stale jokes and musty songs; the illustrated songs are good, but Harry Wood- ward'&. voice la bad. The burlesque, "No Man's Land," pleases the gallery boys, but there isn't enough ginger to please the bald heads. NOTE.—Mrs. Lawrence Crane, known before the tootlights as one of the Crawford Sisters, was in town Christmas week, the guest of her husband's partnts. r JACOB A. GOLDBERG. to miss several engagements for the flrst time in his life, by reason of an operation for the removal of an abscess which resulted from a slight fu;cident while traveling. He Is again keeping his dates. The bill for the week beginning Jan. 7 Is as follows: Lulgl Rossi, with his Musical Horse, "Emir," Arthur Deming, Pekln Zouaves. Dooley, Brenner and Rose, Marlon Garson, Eight Bedouin Arabs, Claudius and Scarlet and the Kinodrome. HENRY WOOD. Neirr Orleans, La. ORPHEUM (Martin Beck, gen. mgr.).—The bill for New Year's week is an excellent one. Frans Ebert. with his sketch "Dan Cupid," Is the "Spotlight" attraction. He has a neat act. but overdoes his drunken scene. Werden and Glad- dish, with their Novelty Illustrated Songs, were );reet(d with thunderous. applause. Pierce and Maizte wear some swell frocks. One gown of Miss Malzee's Is cut so low as to elicit much comment. Lillian Burkhart in her own playlet the "Santa Claus Lady," scored again this week. Holcomb, Curtis and Webb have the most mirth- provoking rival sketch on the vaudeville stage to-day. The Wilson Trio strike the popular chord. Troba has an act that is a dead steal from Paul Conchas. He has a bad sounding- board which makes his heavy missiles sound like apothecary weights. Bill for week of Jan. 8 contains Eva Westcott and Co., (JTias. Leonard Fletcher, Vernon Troupe, Freydo Bros.. Leone and Dale, Tom Brown and Kherus and Cole. GREEN WALL (Henry Greenwall, mgr.).—As a New Year's offering Mr. Fred Irwin Is giving his "Big Show" to the patrons of the Greenwall. Miss Madge Anderson In the burlesque part of the entertainment easily carried off the honors. She could make good with Joe Weber. The olio consists of Elsa Bohm, who has a phenomenal vidce. W. 8. Harvey in a juggling act. I can't say anything good about Devine and Williams, so I won't say anything at all. Sisters De Fftye have no license to be traveling with a bur- lesque show. They should be doing their "two per diem" in the best vaudeville houses in the country. Carleton and Terre have good voices. Scribners "Gay Morning Glories" for week of Jan. 6. NOTE.—Thomas Winston, the local manager of the Orpheum, Is making many friends for the house. O. M. SAMUELS. liOaisvlUe, Ky. HOPKINS' (Wm. Relchmann, res. mgr.).—The headllner of this week's bill is the act presented by Bert Leslie and Robert Dal ley, assisted by Maud Emery, entitled "A Jolly Bit of Tomfool- erv." Bert Leslie makes It just about the fun- niest thing offered here In vaudeville in a long time. Bellman and Moore were unable to do their sketch, owing to an accident which befell Miss Moore on Saturday night, as Mr. Bellman .innounced to the audience. Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward Esmonde present a delightful little one-act jilay that l.«» extremely good. The MUlman Trio, aerial gymnasts and wire walkers, have a splen- did act. Lillian Mills and Ellda Morris have a l)lfaslng specialty. McCue and Cahlll are really pood singers and proved one of the hits of the till. "Ha|)py Jack" Gardner, In black-face, also hcored well. BUCKINGHAM (Whallen Bros., mgrs.).—The Washington Society (Jlrls hold the l>oards this week, presenting a travesty called "Oh! What Joy." and a burletta entitled "Krausmeyer's Alley," with an olio consisting of Ah Ling Fr>o, Elsie I>>slle, Lynotte Sisters, Eldora and West and Williams. This s.^^ow com- pares favorably with others. Fall RlTer, Maaa. SHEEDY'S (M. R. Sheedy. mgr.; C. E. Cook, rcf. mgr.)—Week of 1. The Colby Family headed the bill this week, and their act was well worthy of the numerous encores they received. Hines and Remington in character creations were also very well liked. The Rappo Sisters, dancers; V» rnon, the Ventriloquist; Pat Rooney, dancer, and Irene Franklin, the girl with the three songs, completed the bill. Fair show to crowded houses. Next week are announced Harry La Rose Com- pany, Omah Singh and Walters and Prouty. SAVOY (Al. Haynes. mgr.)—Week of 1 Fall River was presented with a New Year's gift that they will never forget, the opening of the New Savoy Theatre, which may undoubtedly be con- sidered the handsomest theatre In New England. This theatre affiliates with the Keith Circuit and may he looked upon to produce some of the highest priced acts In vaudeville. A crowded house greeted the opening performance, the head- liner for the week being Valerie B<'rKere In the one-act dramatic version of "Carmen." The four I.iOn«lons. In an aerial casting act, were good, as were Adolph ZInk. Colby and May, Rosarle and Dorreta, Grace Leonard and Charlotte Guyer George. Good show through and through. NEW BOSTON THEATRE (Chas. Schleslnger, mgr.).—Week 1 Ileane Campbell's Burbsquer.s are the attraction this week and are pleasing large audiences. S. M. SAMUELS. Omaha, Neb. ORPHETTM (Martin Beck, gen. mgr.).—A comedy bill Is being presented to good audiences this week In which the Okabe Family troupe of .Tapanese equilibrists, jugglers and acrobats are featured. They are putting on good work that is taking well with the audiences, while their act Is greatly enhanced by gorgeous oriental costumes and setting. James H. (Sillen leads the comedv numbers In songs and jokes and has a closf rival In Edwin Latell, "The Merry Minstrel." Dixon and Anger are good In their German come- dian dialogue, and especially so in that they do not deem It necessary to overdo the dialect fea- ture. The I*es Elgonas have a comedy acrobatic turn. In which they do an unusual amount of work for the little applause they can get. Mathews and Manning, "The Barnstormers." find It necessary to resort to slapsticks In order to raise a laugh. MIrzl von Wenrll. a Tyrolean yodler, Is also on the bill, but lacks both the >oice and the personality to make good. Kino- drome pictures are funny and good. Charles T>eonard Fletcher, Impersonator and one of the best numljers on last week's bill, was obliged Scranton, Pa. The Jersey LI 1 lies Ejctraivaganza opened New Year's week at the Star Theatre, Scranton. Pa., with a packed house at the matinee. The audi- ence seemed pleased with the peiformance. The hrsit part Is called the "Disputed Check." Howell and Emerson open the olio wtth a very good talk- ing act. Their jokes are new, and their singing good. Zara and Stetson, in their baton swinging act. are not anylhtnt; great, neither did their tire swinging act take. Ada Burnet sang some coon songs very well. She was not given an encore. The Musical Bells gave the same per- formance that they gave two years ago. it would seem better If they would play something new on their concertinas. The three La Maze Brothers, in their comedy act, "Bumpty Bumps." are the hit of the show. Two of them are very gcK>d acrobats, while the third is very good at falling. It Is somewhat of the same nature as Rice and Prevost In their act of the same name. One or the other have copied. The last part, "The Two Colonels," does not fit Itself very well, on account of the large amount of contradiction. Guy Rawcon is a very clever impersonator, mak- ing quick changes. The chorus are well shaped girlb and the singing Is exceedingly good. At the Family Theatre this week a fine vaudeville bill Is offered. Evans and Evans are the top- liners and make good In a singing and dancing act. John and Carrie Mack present a talking act entitled "Echoes from the Southland;" it is gcod for a while, but becomes tiresome. Their coon shouting is good. Bristol's horses are pretty good, but do not mind like they should. Charles and Edna Harris offer their original sketch. Charles Is very clever and gets oft some good local jokes. He seems to suit the women by making fun of them. The three Banta Brothers and Vondell present a fairly good musical act. The cornetist is the one that takes the most, as his triple tonguing is very true. Vondell tries to be funny, but is unsuccessful. Zella and Dot are very good equilibrists. Harry WetherlU sings for the Illustrated songs. It winds up with the pictures. All around good show. S. KENNETH HERRJNGTON. Santa Ona, Cal. EMPIRE (Allyn Roberts, mgr.).—Opened the week with a Christmas matinee. The bill Is head- ed by Prof. Fait, In hypnotic and other illusions. He has seveqal cabinet tricks, such as Herman the Great entertained us with in the days of our childhood. He has made quite a sensation In the village with his hypnotic work. Gaylor, a neat and clever contortionist, opens the show and makes good. Miss Luella Cross pleased with her songs, and Kelsey and Parks told us about the chicken who crossed the road, and partially re- produced the conversation of Adam and Eve. Their dancing is good. Ted Ross sang about the old apple tree and the sheet did the rest. The Kinetoscope closed with a pretty (Christmas film. S. R. O. Monday night. UNIQUE (C. W. Aliskey. mgr.).—Did a big Christmas business with a small show. J. J. Welch, billed as The Man In White, entertained with some of George Davis' monologue, and Ray Ogden and Company tried hard to make a hit with their dramatic sketch, apropos of Christmas. The Brownings used to make the same sketch go any time in the year, but then Mr. Browning sang "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home" and Mr. Ogden does not. Gene King sang "Two Orphans Are We." Illustrated, and reappeared later with his dog, under the name of Ekl. Clancey and his trained "Pie." Olive Reed pleased with song and dance, and Miles Brothers closed the show with a rather ancient film. STEVE TALBOT. Providence, R. I. Keith's bill this week has been without doubt the best show which has been presented at the house this 8"ason, and the crowds which taxed the seating capacity caused the S. R. O. sign to be displayed every night. Ameta, billed as "the celebrated dancer," occupies the top line, and her work entitled her to that distinction. Ellnore Sisters, who come next, are well known here, have an act that Is a leader. Frank and Jen I..atona In a musical act made a hit because they are good musicians. The balance were Ed. Reynard, the Six Glenserettls. the Two Valorno Brothers. H. Greenway, Sydney Grant, Mamie Remington, Besnah and Miller. Lillian Ashley, Leo Cot Ilia and Baker and Robinson. WEST- MINSTER—"Bob Manchester's Crackerjacks" are here this week and as u.sual furnish one of the bcEt shows of the season. The curtain Is styled "Razzle Dazzle Girls" Introducing the company to advantage with Ikib Van Osten and •Tohn Hemlngs In the comedy roles. The olio Includes the Clemmens Brothers, who have a clever musical net. Miss Lillian Held. Hemlngs, Ivewls and Hemlngs. also the moving picture exhibition of the O'Brlen-FIlzsimmons fight. The closing piece, entitled "Nature." In Marble Hall was only fair. NOTE.—The Imperial Theatre of this city has been le.ased to Shubert and will hereafter be known as ShulKTt'g Theatre, opening Jan. 9. with Mrs. F1«ke In "Leah Kleschna." BENTON. Detroit, Mlfh.

L Koneke, res. mgr.).—Vir- ginia Earl heads this week's bill and haa a de- iidedly original and splendid number. Assdsted by six young men known as her "Johnnies" she liresents a strong singing %.n that pleases. Mlsa t^rl Is heard In a number of her latest suo- c»'S8cs. such as "O Kitty, ' "The Parrot Song," J, "'"1 ^^""^ Tlpperary" ami in each one made a hit. "The Misses Caprice, Lynn and Fay furnish a lively singing and dancing act. Billy Link, in black face, has all new material. The Ttobln Sisters have a vory refined musical act and play a variety of Instrum-nis. Zlska and King present a burlesque magical act far abftve the average. Lavlne and Leonard, with their stage "Auto." produce many hearty laughs with their comedy juggling. Tanner and Gilbert made a hit in "How to Make Love," consisting of good sing- ing and much comedy. The show concludes with views on the Kinetograph, showing "The Life of a Newsboy." For week of 8 Delia FOx, W C Kelly, Wood and Ray, Billy Johnson and his Six Creole Belles. St. Onge Brothers, Hathaway and Walt Shedman's Dogs, and the Kinetograph. V •.. O. C. BATES. Ponirlikeepale, BT. Y. The hit of the week at the Family Theatre is the team of comedy bar experts, George and Harrington. The members of the team are ex- pert, graceful, and In a number of their stunts decidedly sensational. There Is just a touch of horse play In their work that gives a pronounced zest to the act, which is one of the best of Its kind seen In this city. Rapoll. seniCatlonal Euro- pean juggler. Is a feature of the bill. He does some clever work In juggling billiard balls, cones and lastly cannon balls. He also does some good balancing work. On the bill this week Is a turn called the American Trio, "featuring 'Lucille,' the youngest and most talented little artfste In vaudeville." Lucille Is probably the youngest, but whether she has talent or not has not been re- vealed. Th^re is absolutely nothing to the "play- let." the .seniors of the trio are nearly as Inter- esting as a city directory and the "youngest lit- tle artiste" Is not needed on the vaudeville stage. Sabine and Dale, singing and talking comedians, pass mufcter pretty well; the Bar- tells, a musical duo. have an act that Is com- monplace In vaudevlSle, while the pictures which close the show are better than usual. C. Trenton, If. J. TRENT (Ed. Renton, mgr.).-This week's bill pleased crowded houses. Victor and his band scoring a big hit. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Barry In their sketch. "The Village Chit-Up," came In for their share of honors and received numerous encores. Donovan, Arnold and Company made a hit with their one-act comedy, "Twenty Min- utes on Broadway," although they were too many miles away from the isle to make some of their goods get Its Just dues. Fanny Rice and her dolls pleased. Yoimg Brothers In their acro- batic work replaced Gourley, Sully and Gourley and were received favorably. John and Harrv Dllllon replaced Murphy and Francis and made good with their orig'ial style of singing. Emmet DeVoy and Company presented Mr. DeVoy's own sketch. "The Saintly Mr Billings." which pleased to a certain extent, but lacks a good deal to make It look good to me. The bill concluded with the blograph. Next week's bill consists of the Colby Family. Mary Dupont and Company, Bessie Val- di re Troupe. Burke's Musical Dogs, Dixon, Holmes and Holllston. Byron and I^Angdon. Jose- phine Davis and blograph. T. O. F. Neirark, N. J. T'ROCTOU'S -Little Buster Keaton, with his comical parents. Is a big laugh getter here. They repeated their previous successful engagements. The Barrnws-T,anc«ster comedy company present- ed their entertaining one-act plavlet, "Tactics." very cleverly and were applauded. Jack Nor- worth. who has not been here for about a year, monologued amiably and deserved his encores. The Florenz family of acrobats were diverting; Miss Evelyn Clark won hearty approval for her work on the violin; Young and Melville offered a singing and dancing specialty; Kurtis and Busse In n canine act, and Miss Louise Dresser, slnelntr comedienne, was clever. The pictures and Jos. Cavallo's orchestra roiinded out the holiday bin. WALD.MAN'S (Wm. S. Clark. marr.).—.^ bright, bripk show is offered by the Trocadero Burlesquers. The chorus Is well drilled and attractively attired. "A Saintly Sinner" Is the opening burlesipie, and the show winds lip with "Fim at the Hotel Astorbllt." The conutany did both well Mae Taylor, In songs: Brinn. strong man along the line of Conchas: the Grahams. In a sketch of no un- nFiir«l orlL'innlltv Boyc*- and Scanlpn. comedians, and Mackle and Walker. In a sketch filled out the evenly balanced show. H. M. K. ftcheneotadF* N. Y. MOHAWK (.Inn.
