B.F. KEITH'S UNION SQUARE THEATRE
WEEK OF FEB. 10TH.
CRITICISM.
THREE MARLOS
Two men and a woman in a fast bar act, containing many pleasing stunts, with several good laughs. A splendid opener and one that starts the show off well. Seven minutes, full stage.
COAKLEY, McBRIDE AND MILO
Three men, black face, as the "Town Hall Minstrels." A pretty fair singing and dancing act, that secures several strong laughs, and win out on the dancing. Allright for an early place. Twenty-three minute in one and a half.
"A NIGHT ON A HOUSEBOAT"
From the manner in which this number was received, the nights on the houseboat are numbered. It has depreciated in value and can only be classed as a passe' attraction. It gave the show a dreadful bump. Twenty minutes, full stage.
MORT SHARP
Recently of the Sharp Brothers and Fischer and Sharp. Works in full dress, making a very neat appearance and gives several song numbers of German, English and Yiddish characters, Carries a young man as a plant to show hypnotic powers, and sings to two young ladies in the boxes. Secured some good laughs and finished to strong applause. Eighteen minutes, in one.
MR. AND MRS. ALLISON
In the comedy "Minnie From Minnestoa". The old type of comedy and, as vaudeville at this time is going at a fast pace, it looks as though Mr. and Mrs. Allison should give us something new or play the small time. Fifteen minutes, full stage.
