CRITICISM KEITH & PROCTOR'S 125TH STREET THEATRE AUGUST 5 1907 STEELEY & EDWARDS Musical Comedy. The men are, Steeley of Steeley, Doty and Coe, and Edwards of the Four Emperors of Music. Edwards works in black face while Steeley is the straight man. Both are excellent musicians while Steeley's vocal work is very good. The comedy end secured some laughs while the music pleased. The act is really too good for an opener. Will probably make a change to night. One hundred and fifty dollars at the most would be about right. 18 minutes full stage can close in one. WYNN & LEWIS The College Boys. Very neatly dressed, original in general character, good material and fairly good singer. Nicely received and filled the position. 17 minutes in one. FELIX & CAIRE Presenting a character sketch entitled "Just Kids". Boy and Girl giving impersonations of Rogers Brothers, Trixie Friganza Montgomery and Stone, Richard Carle, etc. Both clever children, above the age limit, well known in Harlem and a good financial proposition. Doubt if it would be much better than a three-a-day in other cities. Big ovation on their entrance and tremendous applause on their finish with five bows. 15 minutes full stage and about 3 minutes in one. BELLECLAIRE BROTHERS Modern Hercules. Well known. Great act. Big applause. Repeated their former success. 193 FOUR INTERNATIONAL COMIQUES 4/m. In an eccentric acrobatic comedy on the order of the Nelson Comiques. The acrobatic work is fairly good and the comedy just about gets by. Not strong enough to close the show. All right as an opener. 11 minutes full stage. KINETOGRAPH Lightning Sketches Good That Fatal Sneeze Good
