GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURGH, PA.
J. P. HARRIS.
JANUARY 6th, 1913.
BOUDINI BROS.
Wizards of the Accordion. Olio in One. 14 minutes. Acts of this kind always do very well for us. Owing to the arrangement of our bill we were forced to have them open the show.
WINSLOW & STRIKER.
Special. Full stage. 9 minutes. Roller Skating act. A very good act of the kind, especially for an early place on the bill.
CONLIN, STEEL and CARR
Olio in One. 17 minutes. "The Follies of Vaudeville." Singing, chattering and comedy piano playing. A very good act of its kind, particularly the pranks of Mr. Conlin at the piano. He is a good comedian and the act gets by with a merry breeze.
WM. H. THOMPSON & CO.
Interior. 23 minutes. "An Object Lesson." One of the best acts Mr. Thompson has ever brought us. We all know that he is a real actor. His company is very fair,- the act a big hit, taking many curtain calls.
THURBER & MADISON.
Olio. 15 minutes. "On A Shopping Tour." This act does very well. Madison has some very good stuff. The character songs of Miss Thurber, in my opinion, are not good. However, the act gets over.
IN THE BARRACKS.
Special. 37 minutes. A Military Operetta,- another of Lasky's acts. With some of the dialect omitted from this act, I would consider it among Lasky's best. Miles McCarthy, in my opinion, is a very bad actor. The production, costumes and company generally are very good.
JOE WELCH.
Olio in One. 20 minutes. Doing his old monologue. In my opinion Mr. Welch is very much overpaid.
MARTINETTI & SYLVESTER.
Full stage. 8 minutes. In Knockabout acrobatic comedy. Very good act of the kind. Doing well closing the show.
KINEMACOLOR.
