TRENT THEATRE CRITICISM, WEEK OF FEBRUARY 12, 1912 By J. F. Clancy AFTERNOON SHOW WILSON BROTHERS This is a local act and a very good one. These boys perform on the flying rings and some of their tricks are decidedly sensational. A good act to open almost any bill. LESTER & KELLETT Singing and talking act in "one." This pair went exceptionally well this afternoon and started the show going in good shape. MC CORMACK & WALLACE Ventriloquial act, opens in "two" and closes in "one." Was very well received. BAILEY HALL & BURNETT Trio of rathskeller singers. Received more applause than any act on the bill. Made a capable closing number for the first half of the bill. INTERMISSION BRADNA & DERRICK Bareback riding act. Full stage. Beautifully dressed and carry three handsome horses. While the act did not receive any great amount of applause, nevertheless, I think it made an impression. JIMMIE LUCAS Comedian in "one." Lucas' opening was a little slow but he got the crowd before the act was over and at the finish went big. SAM CHIP & MARY MARBLE Presenting "In Old Edam." This is a dainty little act, from the stage setting and costumes down to the dialogue. Notwithstanding that this act occupied a rather mean position of having to close the show, it got quite a reception at the finish.
