CRITICISM.
FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE, NEW YORK CITY. WEEK OF MAY 13TH, 1912.
ROMALO & DELANO: Two men who present a splendid gymnastic act and capable of holding down a better place on the bill. Their work is out of the ordinary and such as to thrill the audience every minute they are on. Could be made a feature in some of the smaller houses. Ten minutes, full stage.
COOK & LORENZ: The Two Millionaires. The show this week is quite long and, as this act is on at 2:20 and 8:20 with about half a house, it is not fair to criticize the manner in which they are received in any other position they would without doubt, score one of the hits on the bill. Twenty minutes in one.
MME. BESSON: With John Stokes and Edith Von Rulon, in the one-act comedy "Between Trains" by John Stokes. The comedy is based on a quarrel between the husband and wife and is patched up through the opportune entrance of a visitor who brings the two together again through reciting a similar story of her own. It is a novel presentation, very interesting with a little pathos, and has many good laughs. Mme. Besson is a clever actress and her support is excellent. The play itself is worthy of consideration. Full stage fourteen minutes.
BELLE STORY: This young lady 


including, Tom Dingle, George Perry, Will C. Strong, George Fairman, Albert Dunstan, Ubert Carlton, H. Percy Woodley, Al Decker, George Sullivan, Lee White, Helen Veola, Edna Esmeralda, Anna Drew, Marion Mosby and Florence Broad. The act is fast with plenty of comedy scattered throughout. At last night's performance, they seemed to take the house by storm. Full stage, fifty-five minutes.
JAMES DIAMOND & CLARA NELSON: In a bright and up-to-date singing and dancing act. A little hard going here but they managed to hold the audience and received some applause for their work. Eighteen minutes in one.
TOP O' TH' WORLD DANCERS: Well known. Splendid closing number and one that received a great deal of applause and held the audience. Twenty-seven minutes full stage.
