San- sone and De I>lla skipped from the opening to the closing spot and held It down In a satisfactory manner. VICTORIA (Jay Mastbaum, mgr.; agent, Jules E. Aronson).— Bill ran up to average strength. The Mexican Quartet with their mlramba music held down the headline posi- tion In good shape. The "pop" audiences like musical acts, and this one seems to suit their fancy for they have repeated their suc- cesses at several of the local houses. Dar- nell, who sketches his subjects upside down, did fairly well. Lack of anything new or original will keep him as a fair act for the small time. The Young Sisters, a couple of nice looking girls dance and sing well enough, but need some "young" jokes. They should do this If it were only to preserve the family name of which wc are very proud. In pantalettes for the final number the girls look very nifty. Johnson Brothers and John- son entered the bill on Tuesday, replacing an act and were well received with their min- strel first part. The talk still needs brushing up, the singing pulling the act along. Gracey and Burnett presented their familiar sketch. It's an old-timer, handled In the old-fashioned way and it got over In good style. Elsie and Jack Davis form a new act for the "pop" time. Both were with "McFadden's Flats" this season. They have put together a cou- ple of songs and some talk which they put over with good results, Davis doing some step- ping on rollers. Elsie Is "some pony" but didn't do nny stepping. She sang a ballad suited only to a girl with a mean disposition, but she sang It well. The act will do nicely for the small time. Elsie should change to the short dress always. It will help and she's cheating some when she don't. Rog- ers and Dorman won favor with a blackface act, the man sending over some smooth talk. While the orchestra was at dinner the stage manager tried to work the traps for the act. He missed nine cues, but managed to whack the cymbal twice to represent a bell. Some trap artist. Bronko, a violinist, dressed like a "Wop" and played the instrument fairly well. Robisch and Childress did nicely with a singing and talking act. PALACtE (Jay Mastbaum, mgr.; agent, Jules E. Aronson).—With the featured act out of the running, it was up to the rest of the bill to make up the average, and with the exception of two or three unimportant numbers, the bill ran fairly strong. Lola, I,ee and Earle were given the prominent spot but failed to hold it up. A woman and two girls furnish the act, one of the girls making a stab at eccentric comedy, but falling Just as short at this as the woman does. The lit- tle blonde girl did her share to help things along, but a lot more is needed. There is too much talk end the act drags badly. The one comedy line featured has been used in bur- lesque for Borne sensons. Savoy and Savoy deserved the feature spot. The "Jimmy Rus- sell" fellow in this act Is a dandy comedian, putting the laughs over In bunches. The girl adds very little. A little help from her would put this man In right for better time. Whalen and West have a singing and talk- ing act which goeB t.trough by reason of thel. skilful handling. A lot of the talk could stand brushing up With better material HK.UI AH r (,.f> 11 ■■, N ) N »» n D F E '_, s; ir» N A i "» t i << I S I A V M THOSE FOUR ENTERTAINERS Jutt Finishing a Successful Tour of the Orpheum Circuit Agent, PAT CASEY When antWring advertisement* kindly mention VARIETY.
