The Brothers [Sylva?]
[???] the most daring act seen here in a long time. It is the kind of an act which will make people talk. At their entrance they used an apparatus in the form of a "fire engine" which was novel and effective. A very sensational and excellent act. 12 min. full stage, 2 shows.
Herbert Brooks.
Card conjurer. This man had an exceedingly hard place on the bill following the Sylvas who do no talking, and his act opens with no talking and is quiet throughout. He does some very clever work with the cards and finished with a trunk trick which is indeed puzzling. He has a pleasing appearance and while he aroused no great amount of applause he seemed to interest and please our audience. 20 minutes, open in one, close full stage, 3 shows.
Biograph. Good collection of views.
