Variety (September 1908)

20 VARIETY BEWARE OF PIRATES WHO INFRINGE ON OUR TITLE THE MAJESTIC MUSICAL FOUR (WILL F. COLLINS, J. FRANCIS HENRY, FRANK E. TERRELL, HERBERT A. SIMON) Is the ORIGINAL. The act was organized in May, 1902, and the first in the field. Others have taken advantage of our success and copied our title in various forms. This is the ONLY ORIGINAL MAJESTIC MUSICAL FOUR. Booked solid over the UNITED time. AL. SUTHERLAND, *€«*, St. James Bldg., New York. NEW ACTS {Continued from page 13.) Alice Lyndon Doll. Songs. 15 Mins.; One. Majestic, Chicago. Nervousness combined with inexperi- ence is dangerous, especially on Mon- days. Alice Lyndon Doll, a good-looking and demure young woman, was seized with a sudden consternation as during her first aong she left the stage abruptly and hiked to the wings. Upon reap- pearing the audience began to "jolly" her. The "kidding" applause continued throughout the song, but she courage- ously withstood it. Her selections are "especially written." There isn't much doubt about that. At a house party they would go. Miss Doll needs experi- ence more than a vaudeville engagement. The first may beget the second. Frank Wieeberg. Kathryn Roth. "Trombologue." 15 Mins.; Full Stage. Arcade, Newark, N. J. Miss Roth appears in what is termed a "Trombologue." It is an interesting little act. She opens with a Wild West character in costume with an appropriate song, changing to a "Gibson Girl" with a trombone solo, followed by bugle calls, closing in a Dutch costume and mono- logue during which the trombone "an- swers" questions. The act is a go. Joe O'Bryan. "The Night of the Wedding" (Dramatic), aa Mins.; Full Stage. Keith's, Philadelphia. Few sketches of the melodrama type now in vaudeville offer such a heart-in- terest story as this work of Richard Duffy, presented by Adeline Dunlap, Frank McCormack and Company, the "company" being Viola Fengrath, a child. The story tells of a widow and widower about to marry, being separated forever on the night of the wedding through the cruel treatment of the widower's child by his prospective bride. The sketch is unlike anything of the "thriller" compo- sition yet seen in vaudeville and built upon a foundation of home life appeals strongly, particularly to women. All three characters are capably handled. Miss Dunlap, who had the principal role in "The Operator," appears to better ad- vantage in the new character, excepting a rather unconvincing introduction at the very start. At this stage the piece is weakest, as there appears to be no reason why the widow should be in such great hurry to marry the widower, a truckman in modest circumstances. There are spasms of violent love-making on her part during the action of the piece, giv- MAHLER BROS. - ~ SIXTH AVE. and 31st ST..

Mr. McCormack does capable work as the rough-handed truckman with unfaltering love for his child, and the young girl does very nicely with the little given her. XL* sketch was rccei^d wi*h warm recognition. It ranks well up among the offerings of this type in vaudeville. George if. Young. Blesea Harris. Operatic Selections. Arcade, Newark, N. J. Miss Harris calls her act "20 Minutes of Abbreviated Opera." She sings airs from popular operas, ranging from light to heavy. The act pleased lovers of high- class music. Joe O f Bryan. Marimba Band (5). Musical. 10 Mins.; One. Lyric, New Orleans. Milking its first American appearance up- on a theatre stage, the Marimba Band of five young Central American Indian boys, about eighteen years of age, is playing aa the extra attraction with a Blaney melo- drama at the Lyric this week (Sept. 14). The only instrument used is the "marim- ba," large and flat, resembling an xylo- phone, and also played with sticks. The three selections rendered are weird and enchanting. The costuming is similar to that of Arab acrobats. The act is a dis- tinct novelty. O. M. Samuel Al Rice and Company (6). "The Running Kids." so Mins.; Full Stage (Exterior). "Jersey Lilies/' Garden Theatre, Buffalo. Al Rice and six good looking "broilers" make up the organization. Although Rice looks as though he weighed in the neigh- borhood of 160 pounds he makes up con- vincingly as a sixteen-year-old and leads the organization through an entertaining romp. Several pretty tableaux have been devised and good singing and dancing fill the turn out nicely. As an olio item with the burlesque organization "The Running Kids" scored an emphatic hit.
