HIPPODROME SHOW WEEK JAN. 15, 1912.
LOUIS STONE, The Topsy turvy Dancer. Act is a novelty. Drop in 2  10 minutes. (Detroit)
THE FOUR SOLIS BROTHERS, Matchless Mexican Musicians. Another novelty. This time in a musical line. Libral applause. Drop on one. 16 min. (Binghamton)
THE LANGDONS, "A Night on the Boulevard". Man and woman. Special scenery and a lot of novelty light effects. Went  very well and finished strong. Full stage 19 min. (Richmond)
SISTERS MEREDITH, "The Maids Who Made Hiawatha Famous". This act is well known. Same line of stuff they have always done. Carry a lot of special scenery. Go from 1 to full stage and back. (Toledo)
GORDON AND MARX, Two Real German Comedians. This act is only fair. Most of their stuff is old. Act received less applause than any act on bill. Just fair. Drop in one 14 min. (Columbus)
W. H. MURPHY, BLANCHE NICHOLS AND COMPANY, "From Zaza to Uncle Tom". This act is known in every Keith Theatre. Probably the laughing hit of show. 26 min. full stage. (New York)
CHARLEY CASE, The Man who talks about his father. Did not appear. Tried to come from St. Louis, Mo. Nothing but an airship will allow an act to make that jump.
ROSE ROYAL AND HER FAMOUS POSING AND STATUE HORSE. Work full stage in special plush drop. A very beautiful act but not suited to Hippodrome stage. About one half the audience saw this act. 10 minutes full stage. (Erie)
