CRITICISM
B. F. KEITH'S UNION SQUARE THEATRE,
WEEK of DECEMBER 23rd, 1912.
LUCE AND LUCE
Man and a woman of good personality in a neat musical act that opened the show in splendid manner. Eleven minutes in one.
TEXAS TOMMY DANCERS
Six of the original Texas Tommy Dancers. Far superior to the delegation that carried that name here some time ago. A good dancing number. Thirteen minutes, full stage.
FRANK MULLANE
A clean cut young fellow with an excellent voice and a fairly good supply of stories that he gets over. Fourteen minutes in one.
JACK KENNEDY AND COMPANY
Two men and woman in a comedy called "A Business Proposal". A fast comedy, admirably played. Nineteen minutes, full stage.

FLANAGAN AND EDWARDS
In their new act, called, "Off and On", a sequel to "On and Off". This is quite a novel act, bright and full of good laughs and went stronger than their first offering. Open in two, then in one, using their own drop to represent the stage door of a theatre and our own olio to represent the interior of theatre. They were easily the laughing hit of the show. Nineteen minutes.
W.L. ABINGDON AND COMPANY.
In the well known play, "Honor is Satisfied", which seemed



ROSE PITONOF
This young lady will have to go some to equal "Odiva" or even come near to tieing "Ideal". I think it is the poorest presentation I have ever had; in fact, it is the weakest diving act I ever saw, due probably to bad management. Nine minutes, full stage.
