REPORT COLUMBUS SHOW WEEK FEB. 26, 1912 W.W. PROSSER. HANDERS & MILLISS: Eccentric dancers and pianists. Made an excellent impression. Introduced single and duo dancing numbers, alternating with piano, each playing for the other. Very well received with strong finish. Palace in one, 7 minutes. (Cincinnati) SWAN & BAMBARD: Well-known eccentric comedians who scored throughout and finished strong. Landscape in four, 12 minutes. EDNA LUBY: Mimetic Comedienne, introducing a series of impersonations &c. The young lady had a very hard time and it was a battle all the way through. She had to force herself from song to song and it looked bad for her from the beginning. Finally picked up a trifle and just got by. Olio in one, 21 minutes. (Chicago) HAVILAND & THORNTON: Man and woman presenting a comedy trifle, "A Question of Policy". Entertaining throughout, keep appreciation, genuine laughs and good finish. Garden in five, 22 minutes. (Toledo) R.A.G. TRIO: Three young men, presenting songs, piano and banjo work. A little quiet at first, but rapidly improved into a corking good finish. Thoroughly O.K. Olio in one, 14 minutes. (Toledo) HOMER B. MASON & MARGUERITE KEELER & CO: In a one-act comedy, "In and Out". five men and one woman. The act was a scream, evoking roars of laughter from start to finish. No question about Mason being an artist who has a very capable company and an unusually clever laughing number. Fine finish. Special sets in one and four, 19 minutes. (Cleveland) WYNN & RUSSON: These boys certainly had a battle and put in fourteen minutes of dyed-in-the-wool frost. Perhaps a grin or two, but that was about all. Very strong finish of "silence". Street in one, 14 minutes. (Buffalo) THREE JOSSETTY BROTHERS: Acrobats and Risley artists. Very excellent number of its kind, introducing a lot of new tricks and getting them over in great shape. Garden in three, 7 minutes. (Toledo) MOTION PICTURE: Pather Weekly, O.K. Note:- Wynn and Russon and the R.A.G. Trio exchange positions on the bill tonight.
