REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK NOVEMBER 22, 1909.
W. W. PROSSER.
MADAME CHESTER AND HER STATUE DOG: Quite a pretty little posing act, each picture of which gained some applause, and the finish of the act being fairly strong. 8 minutes, special in 5.
THOMAS J. DEMPSEY: Monologist. Very quiet and genteel in his method. Gained several good laughs and got by fairly well all the way through. Very little demonstration at the finish.
FITZGIBBON-McCOY trio: In "A Mischievous Brother". Two men and a woman in a hodge-podge of stuff without rhyme or reason, some of which went quite well and some of which did not. The finish was moderately strong. 18 minutes, C. D. F. in 3.
HELENE GREATREX: A very nice looking girl who whistles well. Not a great big hit but a moderately good act. Just about got by. 9 minutes, olio in 1.
SIMON, GARDNER & CO.: In "The New Coachman". This act went big and really saved the show, which up to this town was weak. Their act was a success all the way through. 25 minutes, C. D. F. in 3.
RAYMOND & CAVERLY: This well known team of German comedians created a lot of laughs and finished strong. 19 minutes, street in 1.
THE CARMOS: Man and woman and man assistant in a novelty heavy-weight  balancing and juggling act. They do a number of very good tricks and were well received all the way through. Finished moderately strong. Palace in 4, 12 minutes.
MOVING PICTURES: O. K.
