32. 125th STREET CRITICISM E.F. ROGERS Feb. 25th, 1907 --ooOoo-- McKAY & CANTWELL: 2 men. Billed as "The Two Daffy Bills." McKay makes his entrance in back of a drop representing a boat, while Cantwell enters in a "prop" automobile. They have a little bright material, the strongest feature being their eccentric dancing. Give a burlesque impersonation of Eva Fay which amuses a little. Act is thoroughly alright, altho' a little talky for an opening act. 14 min. in two. ZAY HOLLAND: This woman has a very pleasing personality and an acceptable voice. Her violin work does not amount to anything but with the assistance of Sydney Grant in first entrance, she manages to get by with some little applause. 9 min. in one. BARD BROTHERS: Well known. All of their various stunts received recognition. Big applause on their finish. 9 min. SYDNEY GRANT: Received some little advance applause. Secured the first strong laugh of the afternoon. Has quite a lot of new material and made himself quite popular. Finished to good applause. Entirely too much money. 10 min. ROSE DeHAVEN SEXTET A very neat singing and dancing number. Nicely costumed. Pretty girls. Fairly good vocalists. Scattered applause throughout. 19 min.-full stage. COOPER & ROBINSON: Big advance applause. Must be the "Harlem Favorites." Laughing hit of the show up to this time. 16 min burlesque impersonations of Vesta Victoria singing "Poor John", "Waiting at the Church," "Teddy Bear" song and the "Salome Dance." I really think the act is the best they ever have given us. Following the Bert Leslie sketch, handicapped them a little. Act is thoroughly alright, if not placed too late on the bill. 15 min. in one. PEKIN ZOUAVES: Various drills and marches well done with tremendous applause for their wall-scaling. Excellent act. Great closing number. 11 min. KINETOGRAPH: "Cavalry Exercises" Very interesting. Quite novel. "A Difficult Arrest" Fairly good comedy
