MARYLAND THEATRE REPORT.
Baltimore - Week Feb. 12th, 1912.
THE GRAZERS
10 Min. Full Stage - A little novelty musical and canding act that opens the show nicely.
BRENT HAYES
15 Min. in 1 - A splendid banjoist that could have a more important spot.
GERALD GRIFFIN & COMPANY
24 Min. Full Stage. This farce is very pleasing, making the audience laugh very heartily.
MARSHALL MONTGOMERY
15 Min. in 1 - The best ventriloquist in vaudeville.
LOUIS SIMM, KATHRYN OSTERMAN & COMPANY OF 10
in the musical farce "A Persian Garden". 40 Min. Full Stage - own set. To my mind this is by long odds the greatest big act that I have ever seen in vaudeville. Headed by two great comedy stars and a thoroughly good cast - (10 speaking parts - no chorus) it strikes a comedy pace that keeps the audience in a continuous roar, which is relieved in spots by some beautiful and catchy music. The scene is elaborate and costumes rich. They gave a performance without a hitch and just as smooth as if it had run for an entire season. Here is an act worth making the trip to Baltimore to see.
(INTERMISSION)
GEORGE PRIMROSE
15 Min. Full Stage - Close in 1 - Opened the second part in good shape.
ROUTAN'S SONG BIRDS
18 Min. Full Stage, The kids are marvels, and they scored a big applause hit.
ASHLEY & LEE
15 Min. in 1 - The going was a little hard for them, but they managed to pull through alright.
5 PIROSCOFFS
A good fast juggling act that closed the show fine.
