REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW, WEEK FEB. 19, 1912 W.W. PROSSER. MANNING & FORD: Two young men who opened with a song and followed with a routine of about as good dancing as has been seen here for some time. Notwithstanding the difficulty attending the opening spot, they made good throughout, scoring a strong finish. Street in one, 8 minutes. (Toledo) FLORENCE MODENA & CHAS GARDNER: In "A Lesson In Reform". This number pleased throughout, gaining many laughs and holding interest to the end, finishing moderately strong. C. D. F. in three, 14 minutes (Cleveland) WORK & OWER: Established acrobatic comedians who went like a house afire. Plenty of applause, liberal laughter and almost enough bows to stop the show. Fine. Garden in one, 6 minutes (Dayton) FIVE MELODY MAIDS & JIMMY O'BRIEN: Four girls play pianos, using an instrument each, the remaining woman and man introducing singing number. The act was very favorably received and seemed to strike the house as something different. Got along all right, and finished strong. Drawing room in three, 18 minutes. (Utica) LEO CARILLO: Has a lot of new material with just a little of the old. Caught on in great shape, and gave us the best act he has ever done in this house. Finished strong. Olio in one, 19 minutes. (Lancaster, Pa.) MACLYN ARBUCKLE & CO: In "The Reform Candidate". Two men and one woman in a crackerjack political playlet which affords Mr. Arbuckle an excellent opportunity for making good. The act went big from beginning to end, finishing very strong. Arbuckle's personal success was most emphatic. Library in three, 19 minutes. (Toledo) BIG CITY FOUR: Male Quartet, introducing straight and comedy selections. A decided hit, with a very strong finish. Street in one, 19 minutes. (Toledo) SAYTON TRIO: Two men and one woman in a novelty contortion and equilibristic offering. Used special scene, which, with the lighting effect, was very effective. The work of the two men held closest attention, being, in fact, of an unusually meritorious order. It made a good closer, scoring a strong finish. Special in four, 10 minutes. (Louisville) MOTION PICTURE Pathe Weekly, O.K.
