[page:] 74 REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW WEEK FEB. 5, 1912 -- W. W. PROSSER. HASTINGS & WILSON: "The Lunatics". This well-known comedy acrobatic act made a thoroughly good impression, winning laughter throughout and finishing well. Special drop in four, 10 minutes. (Open) LEIPSIG, "CONJURER": This man offers a very interesting routine of card work and other magic feats. Has a pleasing manner and seemed to be very well liked. House gave close attention throughout. There was good strong finish. Palace in one, 17 minutes. (Norfolk) LINTON & LAURENCE: "In The Piano Store", an entertaining little skit that seemed to hit the mark. Held attention without any trouble, scoring quite a number of good substantial laughs. The weakest point in the act was the finish which was fair. All in all a satisfactory number. Library in three, 17 minutes. (Dayton) THE AMOROS SISTERS: This well-known combination of singing, dancing, acrobatic and trapeze work opened moderately well, picked up as it went along and finally rounded out in good shape with a moderately strong finish. Considering its merits, the act did not go as well as it deserved. It will undoubtedly be more appreciated during the week. Opened in one, special in four, 11 minutes. (Dayton) HEIM CHILDREN: This juvenile team did very well, there being laughter a-plenty and liberal applause. Good strong finish. Street in one, 20 minutes. (Syracuse) EDMUND HAYES & CO: In "The Piano Movers". Two men and one woman. This comedy offering brought forth roars of laughter and seemed to be thoroughly appreciated. Hayes scored a genuine personal success. For some reason or another, the finish was only fair. Notwithstanding which the act must be credited as a laughing success. C.D.F. in three, 17 minutes. (Cleveland) CLARICE VANCE: Opened moderately well, picked up with the second song, and, for the remainder of the time, had easy sailing. Appeared to be well liked. Good finish. Olio in one, 15 minutes. (Toledo) KITAMURA TROUPE JAPS: In view of the fact that the Jap acts seem to be losing strength here, this troupe did remarkably well, practically holding the entire audience until the finish. Both the dexterity and the incidental comedy were well liked. A thoroughly substantial finish was achieved. Special set in three, 13 minutes. (Akron and Youngstown) MOTION PICTURE: O.K.
