Report on Columbus Show for the week of Mch. 29th.
W. W. Prosser.
DAMM BROS.: In acrobatic feats of strength. A most excellent act faultlessly presented. There was pronounced applause throughout the act and the finish is strong. We have had nothing better than this for a long time. 7 minutes, wood in four.
SUE SMITH: Singing comedian. Girl makes a very nice appearance, has several changes of costume, and all of her songs are well rendered. She went fine and got away at the finish excellently. Oleo in one. 14 minutes.
CHAS. T. SEMON: "The Narrow Feller". This well known act was a distinct hit. Nothing left to be desired. C. D. F., 24 minutes.
CARTMELL & HARRIS: Well known dancing act and one of the very best that has ever played the house. The act went big from beginning to end. Finish strong. C. D. F., close in one, 17 minutes.
"AWAKE AT THE SWITCH": Two men, one woman and a little boy in a very clever and unique one act comedy sketch. The story is of more than usual interest and held the undivided attention of the audience all through the act. There are many laughs legitimately gained, and the enactment of the various rolls was without a flaw. A distinct success all through. Special in three. 25 minutes.
EVA TANGUAY: The biggest hit the house has ever had. Everything she offered met with an excellent reception and she was recalled time after time. The indications are that she will give us the biggest week we have ever had. Palace in one, 25 minutes.
WATSON'S FARMYARD: A very well known act and one that made a most substantial hit. Landscape in five, 15 minutes.
KINETOGRAPH:  O. K.
