CRITICISM. UNION SQUARE THEATRE. WEEK OF OCTOBER 7th, 1912. E. F. ROGERS, MGR. PEPPINO: Accordion player with a repertoire of classic and popular selections. The house seems to appreciate his work, although thirteen minutes of this sort of music becomes monotonous. CUNNINGHAM AND MARION: Two men in a series of acrobatic stunts in one taking the place of the Chadwick Trio who refused to go on in second place. Their work is that of the regulation material that secures a good amount of applause with several laughs. All right for an early place. Ten minutes in one. "LAMBERTI": First time here of this well known and clever musician in many years. All of the impersonations were appreciated and he received unusually large applause on his finish. Twenty-three minutes, full stage. SOPHYE BARNARD: With good personality, stunning gowns and a splendid voice. This young lady does not get over, as her selections are not right and hinder her advancement. One of her gowns is worn without corsets and has created no end of criticism, being noticed more particularly by the women. Thirteen minutes full stage. Giving her palace setting on account of the large number of acts in one. LOU ANGER: "The German Soldier", a la Cliff Gordon. He gets the audience from the start, carries them right through to his finish with bright monologue. Fourteen minutes in one. WELLINGTON [CROSS?] AND LOIS JOSEPHINE: A dainty, refined and clever singing and dancing number that is easily the applause hit of the bill. Seventeen minutes in 1 1/2 and close in one. "THE SYSTEM": With Taylor Granville and Laura Pierpoint and Company. Second week and going just as big as before. Forty-two minutes. LILLIAN SHAW: This young lady has advanced greatly since her last appearance in these parts. She is accorded big welcome on her entrance and each song gets rip roaring applause with tremendous outburst on her finish, with cries from all parts of the house for her various "Old time" numbers. She is still living up to her billing as a "headliner" and then some. Twenty-two minutes, opens in one
