243 B. F. KEITH'S UNION SQUARE THEATRE. CRITICISM OF SHOW FOR WEEK OF MARCH 3RD. TALKING PICTURES showing two pictures, 1. Jack's Joke and 2. "Temptation of Faust" The former rather a weak subject that fails to get any applause but the second is good both photographically and from a novelty standpoint and receives a strong hand. HARRY LINTON AND ANITA LAWRENCE A splendid act, novel and full of life, scored heavily. Sixteen minutes in one. RUSH LING TOY With two men and a woman as assistants, presenting a fast illusion specialty that will create some talk. The novelty about this fellow is the quickness in which he presents his illusions, which are all good and cleverly executed. While he did not receive any great amount of applause for any one stunt, he was given a rousing hand on his finish, with several curtain calls. Ten minutes, full stage, own set. J. FRANCIS DOOLEY AND CORRINE SALES Held this very hard position in splendid manner and proved to be one of the big laughing hits of the show. Twenty-three minutes in one. THE FOUR LONDONS Some aerial act and one of the best we ever had or will have. Every stunt strongly applauded and they held the audience without a move until the finish and then wanting more. Six minutes full stage
