FORD & SWOR Well known. Afraid this act is going backward as they are not doing the same act as when I last saw them. The parodies are not as good and they do not seem to have any life or ginger in the act. They secured some few laughs and just about pleased. 18 minutes in one. "THE OPERATOR" With Adeline Dunlap and Richard Yarrick. Described in previous criticism. A thrilling dramatic sketch very well played. Spontaneous applause on the finish with three genuine curtain calls. 15 minutes full stage. BELLE BLANCHE The Dainty Mimic. This little lady was the applause hit of the show. In fact, some of her impersonations were so perfect the jury broke in with applause during several characters and she was therefore compelled to discontinue singing and bow in acknowledgement. 17 minutes in one. "LONDON FIRE BRIGADE" Full description given in previous criticism. As I expected they have greatly improved. More action, plenty of laughs, and much shorter in time. One continuous laugh from start to finish big applause and three curtain calls. Laughing hit of the show. 20 minutes full stage. KINETOGRAPH Buying a Donkey Good A Jealous Woman Good
