(2) Great Scott. On at 5.14, 10 min, full stage. Am very sorry to be obliged to use this act in this spot, as he would be very good up to 2.45 and 8.45, with his juggling act on an unsupported ladder. I shall be pleased to play him back later in the season. Lyric Trio. On at 5.24, 13 min, in 1; 3 shows. A very good straight singing act. Another act that could hold a much better place with credit. Viola & Engel. On at 5.37, 10 min, full stage; 3 shows. An acrobatic comedy act introducing some very good barrel-jumping, the comedy a la Rice & Prevost. This act is good enough to open almost anybody's show. Brown & Bailey. On at 5.47, 12 min, in 1; 3 shows. A coon act that is above average. Think they would make good in an early spot in the 2-show houses. Cuts:- Welch, Mealy & Montrose. "What the hell". Viola & Engel. Mock prayer. Brown & Bailey. Mention of Caruso. Comment. A ripping good show, almost as good as last week's which caused a lot of talk among our patrons. As will be noticed, it abounds in comedy. It ran so late that I was obliged to take Gray out of his place following the Fadettes, much to my regret, for he more than made good there, and scheduled him so that he will do two shows between 5 and 7.30 during the remainder of the week.
