CRITICISM - CLEVELAND, O. WEEK OF Feb. 6th, 1905.
OLLIE YOUNG & BRO. Hoop Rollers.
This is a good act. Their first appearance here in this house, and go very well. time 10 minutes in full stage.
GEORGE WILSON, in Monologue.
He is going very bad with us. Our people can't see him at all, and simply don't want him. He finishes without a hand. He is doing about 18 minutes.
CAIDECO, "King of the Wire".
This is also a good act, and is familiar with everybody. Time 12 minutes in full stage.
HICKEY & NELSON, in their act "Twisted & Tangled".
I'm having them do their old act this week, and they're going all right with us. They open in one and close in full stage. Time 10 minutes.
YORKE & ADAMS, Hebrew Comedians.
These people have been over the circuit so much that everybody is familiar with them. They're stuff that they are using did not go at all Monday matinee and evening, so I had them change it and use as much of their old act as they could. At both performances yesterday they went very bad. Time 20 minutes in one.
RYAN & RICHFIELD, in their comedy "MAG HAGGERTY'S FATHER"
This is the second time that this act has been played in Cleveland, and is going very well. In fact, it is the hit of the bill. Time 30 minutes full stage.
DELMORE SISTERS, in musical and vocal novelties.
This is a good act. It consists of singing and selections on the guitar and violin. They make several changes and wear nice costumes. Time 12 minutes in one.
RADIUM DANCE. This act consists of eight girls, and is hardly strong enough for a head liner. It is a novelty in its way, and the house must be kept absolutely dark to get any benefit from it. The act opens with some singing and dancing. Several of the girls make two changes in costume. The act was rather a disappointment to everybody. However, it's not a bad act by any means, and if the act hadn't been head-lined, it would have gone through all right. Time 10 minutes full stage.
BIOGRAPH. I'm running four films this week "The Vintage", "Petticoat Lane", "The Babies & the Rabbits" and "Whitechapel Sneak Thieves". They are all good films.
NOTE:- The show this week doesn't give satisfaction, and is not a good show.
