HYDE & BEHMAN'S.
Brooklyn New York City.
Week commencing February 22nd, 1904.
1  AGNES MAHR. Tommy Atkins Toe Dancer.
The first time at this house. She is a very fine dancer, Makes several quick changes, is very graceful and attractive on the stage. One of the best opening acts that we have had, is worthy of a better place on the bill. Full stage. Time 9 minutes.
3  WARD & CURRAN. Comedians and Singers.
We consider this act only a fair one. It is quite different from the "Terrible Judge", and does not prove as satisfactory to our audience. Ward is a fair comedian and gets all out of it, that is possible. Curran's singing always good. Full stage. Time 30 minutes.
2  DONAHUE & NICHOLS. Acrobatic comedy duo.
This team has played here several times and always make good. We consider it one of the best acts of the kind that comes to this house. Miss Nichols is very pretty, a nice dancer, and always has a smile that takes. Donahue's comedy is good. The act is of quick action and gets good applause. Full stage, close in one. Time 13 minutes.
COUNTESS BIANCA de JENEPPE. Violinist.
First appearance at this house. She is a very handsome woman, dresses well and makes a fine stage appearance. Her violin playing is after the order of "Camilla Urso" and is very pleasing to the body of the house, fair act. All in one. Time 10 minutes.
FREDERICK BOND & CO. "My Awful Dad."
This is a very laughable sketch, and capitally played. Bond is an excellent comedian, and his support is good. Made a decided hit. Full stage. Time 27 minutes.
SAILOR & BARBARETTO. "Pink Pajama Girl".
They have given this act here several times before. It is a very refined specialty, and always goes well. All in one. Time 11 minutes.
DELMORE & LEE. Gymnasts.
One of the best acts ever seen in this house. They do a novelty aerial ladder act, their costumes being entirely white against a black background. They do some exceedingly pretty work on the ladder, which is given a rotary motion and swings horizontally. They are very daring and attractive, their finish being a breakaway which creates a great sensation. They are certainly gymnasts of unusual accomplishments. Act goes great. Full stage. Time 12 minutes.
QUARTETTE BASQUE.
One of the best singing organizations that comes here. They have a new tenor whom we do not consider quite as good as their former one. As a whole the act is good and goes strong. All in one. Time 10 minutes
H. M. PARKER'S DOGS.
Always good at this house. Full stage. Time 8 minutes.
BIOSCOPE.
Very pleasing comedy pictures. Time 14 minutes.
