HYDE & BEHMAN'S.
Brooklyn, New York City.
Week commencing February 15th, 1904.
SISTERS GASCH. Two young ladies who do one of the best acrobatic acts that we have had in years. They dress well and are very graceful in their movements. They perform many difficult tricks and have wonderful muscular power. The head balancing is really extraordinary. A good act. Full stage. Time 7 minutes.
CRAWFORD & MANNING. Black-face Comedians.
The opening of this act is rather tame, but as they progress, it becomes better and the finish is quite strong. A fair act. Open in one, then full stage close in one. 18 min.
GILLETTS MUSICAL DOGS. One of the best dog acts that we have had. They represent a high standard of canine culture, and are greatly appreciated. Full stage. Time 19 minutes.
CHARLES KENNA. "The Fakir".
A very good act and went well with the audience. It is out of the run of the usual monologues. All in one. Time 16 minutes.
FOUR EMPERORS OF MUSIC. Comedy poor (we cut it out). Musical part excellent. Can be considered as a good act. Full stage, close in one. Time 22 minutes.
CLAYTON WHITE, MARIE STUART & CO. "Paris"
Their first appearance here this season. As we have made several reports on this act, it is only necessary to say that the act goes just as strong as ever. We consider it one of the best sketches on the stage, and always admirably acted. Full stage. Time 32 minutes.
LEONA THURBER & PICKS. This is a fair act and goes very well. All in one. Time 10 minutes.
KELLY & KENT. We consider this a good act. comedy, singing and dancing, all good. Went very strong with the audience. Full stage, close in one. Time 18 minutes.
THE FOUR BARDS. Acrobats.
One of the very best of acrobatic acts. It is an act of unusual daring, novelty and cleverness. They are very graceful in their movements, and gave entire satisfaction to the audience. Full stage. Time 10 minutes.
