CRITICISM KEITH & PROCTOR'S 125TH STREET THEATRE WEEK OF AUGUST 19, 1907. DONAT BEDINI European Acrobat. Greatly improved by the addition of another dog. Both Canines perfectly trained. Continual applause throughout. Excellent opening act. 9 Minutes full stage. ROONEY SISTERS The singing is nothing to rave over but they certainly hold their own as dancers. They are nicely costumed, look pretty, and manage to secure some big applause. 10 Minutes in one. A. O. DUNCAN Well known. Held his own here as a laugh producer. Certainly keeps abreast of the times in local matters. Appreciated and continual laughter throughout. 16 Minutes full stage - 2 minutes in one. BAILEY & AUSTIN Well known. Quite a large company. Three men and two boys. The extra members assist in the encore, consisting of burlesque singing which is rather amusing in its entirety. A laugh from start to finish. 15 Minutes including about 5 minutes in one. HAYES, WINCHELL & THERESA In a one-act farce "Toodles Misuc Lesson". 1/m & 2/w. Act consists of singing and dancing. The man is a clever pianist and made a distinct hit for his playing. One of the women is excess baggage while the other is a good juvenile impersonator. The act is bright - good comedy and fills the place very acceptably. 24 Minutes full stage. he goes. Few hours elapse. Thief breaks in. Disturbed so [illegible] hides behind screen.
