REPORT COLUMBUS SHOW, WEEK APRIL 14, 1913...W.W. PROSSER. LeRoy, Wilson and Tom: Three men acrobats, two comedy, one straight. Proved alright as an opener, introducing quite a number of laughable stunts, all of which semed to meet with approval, went well throughout and finished moderately strong. Landscape in 4, 8 minutes. (Syracuse) Dorothy Kenton: "The Girl With The Banjo". She has added a little singing and dancing steps to her playing, making in all, a very acceptable number. Pleased throughout, finished fairly strong. Olio in 1, 8 minutes. (Felix Hotel, New York) Ed. Blondell & Co. One man and two women, in "The Lost Boy". Both the women serve well as foils for Blondell, whose quiet line of talk and business got over in great shape. Plenty of laughter, undivided attention and a good, strong finish. Light Fancy in 3, 22 minutes. (Erie) Edison Talking Pictures: "The Indian Maid's Revenge" and "The Five Bachelors". Neither picture made much of an impression, and the house seemed relieved when they were over. Sheet in 1. 16 minutes. Van and Schenck: Two men in character and straight songs, with piano accompaniments. Judging from reception given this team, and the way each and every number went, they were the biggest hit of any act of this character we have ever played. To their credit, be it known that their material is clean and they do not resort to "boiler-factory" methods in order to land their material. Very strong finish. Street in one. 19 min. (Louisville) Nina Morris: One woman, three men in the melodramatic sketch, "The Yellow Peril", an excellent story capably told. Intense at times, and always holding interest. Fine work on the part of entire cast. Strong finish. Library in 3, 23 minutes. Stuart Barnes: Some new and some old material, but all of it decidedly worth while as delivered in Barnes' inimitable manner. Caught on at the beginning, going big throughout and finishing strong. Olio in 1. 19 minutes. FOur Florimonds: Three men, one woman in a good novelty number. Well dressed act which was well presented. "Juggling On Free Ladders", it is called, and the various tricks are presented in an excellent manner. Held undivided attention, and finished strong. Palace in 5, 8 minutes. (Canton) Pathe Weekly: O. K.
