REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW WEEK JAN. 8, 1912--W. W. PROSSER. LANE & O'DONNELL: Comedy acrobats, two men, who made the biggest sort of hit. Had the house screaming most of the time. Finished great. Garden in four. 8 minutes. (Pittsburgh) KATE WATSON: Rube Character Comedienne who went very well throughout, scoring many laughs and plenty of applause. Very good. Olio in one, 13 min. (Pittsburgh) PORTER J. WHITE & CO: Two men and one woman, sketch "The Visitor". Gained closest attention making point after point and all in all being a legitimate offering well worth while. Very strong finish. Library in three, 23 min. (Toledo) FROZINI: A genuine master of the accordion. Plays classics and popular numbers and surely plays them. Made a very favorable impression and finished very strong. Conservatory in one, 14 minutes. (Baltimore) PAULINE: Wellknown hypnotist who does a corking good act. The comedy was received with shrieks of laughter, the applause was cyclonic, and the more serious episodes were very attentively received. The act was good the last time four years ago, but he has made remarkable strides forward, and he really stands alone for a number of this or similar nature. Very strong finish. C.D.F. in 3, 41 minutes. (New York) DOOIN & MCCOOL: In "After The Game", a singing and talking stunt. Made a very favorable impression tho not a big hit. The singing was especially well received. By no means a bad act yet not anything out of the ordinary. Some applause and a fairly good finish. Will no doubt attract to some extent on account of the reputation of Doonin. Street in one. 20 min. (Pittsburgh) CAMILLE TRIO: Three men in comedy bar act that made quite good. Many laughs and a good strong finish. Thoroughly O.K. Terrace in 5. 6 minutes. (Grand Rapids) EVOLUTION OF COON SONG: Orchestration and sterioptican showing of the famous singers and composers of negro songs from 1830 to date. Simultaneous with the music the slides show the singer or the composer who was prominently identified with the selection. This feature is the work of Mr. Chas. Lovenburg and it proved of interest to our house the majority of which remained to the finish same. 9 minutes. Picture sheet.
