HYDE & REHMAN'S
Week Commencing January 26th, 1903

BROTHERS FARNUM   
Acrobatic Comedians. Very fair opening act; are clever in their line of work but as usual with this style of performance, they weed in too much comedy that is poor stuff. Open with full stage, close in one; time 16 minutes.

YANKEE COMEDY FOUR   Combined, they put up a laugh producing act, which goes very well. Are good singers also. A notable feature is the make-up of one of their number in imitation of Bob Fitzsimmons, which makes a hit at once. Close in one, opening with full stage. Time 12 minutes.
