CRITICISM
B.F. KEITH'S UNION SQUARE THEATER.
WEEK OF MAY 12TH.
[HOSOSTON?] AND [BRUMMER?]
Army Artillery Jugglers. Juggling cannon balls, guns etc. I really dont believe an act of this nature belongs in a house of this kind. They both work like amateurs, probably due to nervousness, with a general mix-up in their routine. Nine minutes full stage.
BOB FINLEY AND [CHESLEIGH?] SISTERS
In "A Vaudeville Idea of Musical Comedy", a skit consisting of a little dancing, singing and some patter. The girls make several changes of costume and look pretty. While the act no doubt pleased, they do not get the applause. fifteen minutes in one
[WYKOFF? RYKOFF?] AND [VANITY?]
Society Dancers. A good looking young couple giving us a series of dances. A very neat act and greatly appreciated. Nine minutes full stage.
SMITH-COOK AND MARIE BRANDON
Marie Brandon is a good looking soubrette, 



FERNANDA ELISCU
and company, consisting of two men and two women, in a dramatic playlet called, "One Of Them". Miss Eliscu offers a splendid sketch, a story of the underworld, one that grips from the very opening and holds the house without a murmur. her acting is immense. The audience stamped it with instant approval. It is a knock at the police.
ZELMA RALSTON
This young woman has played the circuit over and over again. She offers this time a pianologue. Her voice is only ordinary and her selections just about get by. I cannot say that she got over this afternoon.
