PITTSBURGH, PA.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
JOHN P. HARRIS.
DECEMBER 23rd, 1912.
YANKEE & DIXIE.
Full stage. 12 minutes. This is a little dog act, just about good enough to open the show.
AL. & FANNIE STEADMAN.
Olio in One. 10 minutes. The Youthful Entertainers in "Piano Capers." They did not do very well for us and I don't think we would care to play them a return.
YOUNG & APRIL.
Jugglers and Soap Bubble Manipulators. 13 min. Full stage. Garden. This is a real novelty and while not a great act, it can be classed as a very pleasing number.
CORRELLI & GILLETTE.
Comedians introducing Comedy Acrobats. 9 minutes. Street. This is a very ordinary act and I would not care to recommend it for any later than No. 2 on the bill.
BURNS & FULTON.
In Terpsichorean Classics. Special plush drops, 13 minutes. This is a very good dancing act and did very well for us. It is hardly fair to criticise them too severely for the reason that Mr. Burns was ill and compelled to lay off a performance.
KREMKA BROS.
Full stage. 10 minutes, closing 3 min. in one. European Gymnasts. Eccentric Athletic Novelty. One of the best comedy acrobatic acts we have ever played.
EDMUND HAYES & CO.
Interior. 17 minutes. "Piano Movers." A very good act. Mr. Hayes is a real comedian. He was a big hit with us.
ARLINE & ADLER.
Olio in One. 15 minutes. Offering "A New Idea." A novel way of introducing imitations. I had them down next to closing and they were a big hit.
LITTLE PARISIENNE.
35 minutes. Special. 16 people. Another of Jesse Lasky's acts. It is well dressed and a very good production. While this act cannot be classed as his best, I really think that it is among the best he has given us.
