THE VAN DYKES ---- Man and a woman, comedy cartoonists. They sketch persons in the audience and do many original comedy pictures. As a finish the man sketches president Wilson and the woman draws Abraham Lincoln. They use white paper on big easels and black and colored crayons. The act, very fair. In two 14 min.
HALLEY AND NOBLE ---- Man and a woman in a comedy singing, talking and dancing skit. The woman has a good voice and sings several numbers making two costume changes. The man does a little eccentric dancing. The act went very fair. In one 15 min.
GERTRUDE BARNES ---- With a musical director and one male assistant. She opens in one singing before a big blue plush drop. She sings five songs and changes her costume five times. The dresses are remarkably pretty. The act went very well. Time of act 20 Min.
LYONS AND YOSCO ---- "The Harpist and The Singer" received a good reception. They played and sang several numbers scoring heavily. The act is the applause hit of the bill. It went very big. In one 19 Min.
INTERMISSION-----
SANTLEY AND NORTON ----- Two men, one sings and the other plays the piano and joins in the chorus. They have good voices and go their stuff over nicely. The act went very well. In two 12 Min.
"THE SQUEALER" -- Presented by Jesse L. Lasky. Two women and a man. Scene private office of a police inspector. The story of the sketch is this; Graft in the police department is being investigated by the District Attorney, who comes across a woman who has been paying graft to the police captain. She denies the accusations and the District Attorney traps her into committing perjury. He offers her the alternative of sending the captain up the river by squealing and saving herself or taking the prison term herself. He lets her go to think it over. She enters the captain's office. He is there in full uniform. She tells him of the district attorney's offer.  The captain tells her not to be a squealer and offers her $10,000 to go to jail for him. She refuses, but finally consents and the captain leaves the room to get the money. During his absence his daughter enters the room. She never suspects her father is crooked. When the woman of the streets sees the captain's daughter, dressed in silks wearing fashionable modes and jewelry she takes her to task. She tells the daughter what her father is trying to do. When the captain reenters the room the girl talks to him. She persuades him to face the music and not sacrifice a poor girl. The daughter's plea wins and the captain gives the poor wretch his shield and tells her to go back to the district attorney and tell him he resigns from the department. The story is based on the present upheaval in the New York City department. The act went very well. Time of act, C.D.F. 14 Min.
LINTON AND LAWRENCE ---- Man and a woman who do a little singing dancing, piano and violin playing. The latter stunt is an imitation The act is novel and has good comedy. The act went very good. in one 16 Min.
