8 English Palace Girls Assisted by James Clemons.
Eight very attractive young women, exceptionally well dressed. One of the best acts of the kind that we have had as far as detail and finish is concerned. Their work is very even and their dancing good. Clemons fills up the intervals with some exceptionally good dancing. All in all, a most satisfactory act. 17 Min. F. S.
J. Francis Dooley & Corinne Sayles
This act scored the same big hit that they did last season. I don't understand why, at their salary, they should not be played everywhere, for it is one of the best laughing acts we get. I know the fellow isn't liked personally, and I dislike him as heartily as others do, but the fact remains that they make a hit and I value them for that. They held the stage 27 Min. and the audience wanted more. In One.
Hastings & Wilson
One of the men in this act is a wonder in eccentric acrobatics and grotesque dancing. With a partner equally good the act would be a sensation. I think the present partner detracts from the act. They close the show fairly well, bu are not as strong a feature as I should like to have in this spot. In the Pederson Brothers place on Monday afternoon they made a decided hit. Good value for the money. 9 Min. F. S. Can open about two minutes in One.
