Criticism B.F. Keith's Union Square Theatre Week of November 11th, 1912. THE BALIOTS Man and a woman in an equilibristic and gymnastic act. Very interesting and instructive and one that opens the show in splendid manner. Ten minutes, full stage. PEALSON AND GOLDIE Two young men in a good, fast singing and talking act, including a whistling specialty. Can go in any position and hold their own. Fourteen minutes in one. THE FIVE SULLYS B. F. Keith's Union Square Criticism, continued:-- is a clever dancer but only a fair singer, and nineteen minutes of this sort is rot. If he gave us one song, a piano solo and finish with some dancing, with a split in salary, he would no doubt be a legitimate entertainer. MINNIE DUPREE Presenting a dramatic sketch, called, "The Man in Front", with a company of three, Miss Dupree, Mr. Arthur Maitland and James Cooley. It tells the old story of trusting husband, faithless wife and friend - the familiar "triangle" - but the plot is well planned and the unexpected ending serves to make the sketch really interesting. The company is excellent and the play is the best Miss Dupree has ever attempted. Twenty-three minutes full stage. HARRY BREEN This young man with his "nut" songs kept them laughing for fifteen minutes and was very acceptable in this position. "THE LITTLE PARISIENNE" Jessy L. Lasky's miniature musical comedy, featuring Valerie Serice Mr. Lasky has given us a splendid production in the way of costumes scenery and effects and a good company with a little story serving to introduce Miss Serice as "The Little Parisienne". The musical numbers offered are quite lengthy and, I think, affect the act. Believe he could shorten the comedy and, in time, make it a very pleasing feature. Thirty-seven minutes, full stage, special set.
