125TH STREET THEATRE CRITICISM

etc. Secures some few laughs. Second scene shows the wall with the company going through a series of burlesque drills, marches, etc., which is quite funny. They finish with the wall-scaling and after various maneuvers in trying to get the fat man over the wall, the wall falls making a good strong finish with plenty of laughs. Act is thoroughly alright if not placed too far down on the bill. 15 min.-full stage.

LIND:
Female Impersonator. Carries his own scenery, using electrical effects, which makes it a very pretty stage setting. Act consists of various dances. Makes three changes of costumes. The Jury was decived until the finish and then the usual spontaneous laugh. 7 min.

ELINORE SISTERS:
Applaus and laughing hit of the show. 10  min

JACKSON FAMILY:
4 men and 4 women. Doing the regulation cycle stunts. Big applause throughout and an excellent closing number. 12 min.

KINETOGRAPH: "Cinderella" Rather long. Will take off. Substitute a comedy film.
