CLEVELAND SHOW WEEK MAY 27th, 1907. MLLE NADJI: Europe's Greatest Queen of Equipoise. This was a very pretty little opening act, and should make good anywhere. Her finish hanging on a strap by her teeth, which revolves is certainly thrilling. A very good little act. Palace 10 minutes. BROWN & NEVARRO: Vaudeville's Best Colored Duo, in character changes. This act started off very tame to-day, which I think was do mostly to Mr Brown's songs, which were anything but popular. They are doing about the same act as before with the exception of carrying three special drops. 16 minutes Open in two, then to one. Close in two. Close to good applause. MR & MRS EDWARD H. KEMP: "Tales Of The Wild". These people have without a doubt one of the most novel acts I have ever seen. Their pictures are unusually fine, and should be interesting to any kind of an audience. I don't think any one will make a mistake in booking this act. 19 minutes in one. Biograph drop CHAS BARRY & HULDA HALVERS: These people are doing about the same act as when last seen here, with the exception of Mr Barry's songs which are new. Went very well this afternoon. C. D. F. 15 minutes. Close in one Two minutes HARRY ARMSTRONG AND WM. CLARK: Song writers. One working straight and the other blackface. While I don't think this is a great act of this kind, it made good with this afternoon's audience. They introduce a lot of their own songs which were new, and no doubt would have went much better if they had had better voices, as one of the two was about three tones shy on several occasions. Nevertheless it went very well. 18 minutes. C. D. F. Close in one 9 minutes. MISS MAY TULLY & CO: "Stop, Look & Listen". While I don't think this little play amounts to a great deal, it serves the purpose for Miss Tully very well. The story is of a stranded actress who runs across a little country girl who is anxious to go on the stage, and in fact has saved up enough money to run away from home and go to New York. After finding out that Miss Tully is an actress, she asks her to give imitations of people whom she has read about, which she did very well. She closes her act with an imitation of a young girl who left home and after living with a man for two years, he becomes tired of her and tells her he is going to leave her. This little scene naturally serves to turn the country girls' mind from going on the stage, and was so well done by Miss Tully that she received three curtain calls at close. A very good act. Open in one, then to full stage. 27 minutes HOEY & LEE: Hebrew Comedians. Act well known. Had some new stuff and good deal of old. 14 minutes in one. FOUR CASTING DUNBARS: This act is well known on circuit and is just as good as ever. In fact it is good enough to close any show, even advanced vaudeville. 10 minutes Full stage
