VII 2- B. F. KEITH'S UNION SQUARE. BERTEE BEAUMONTE AND JACK ARNOLD Presenting a dainty comedy skit, consisting of good comedy lines, songs and dances. Some of the lines of their dialogue fell flat at both performances, although I presume, before a more enlightened audience, they would met with better success. The woman makes a stunning appearance and is one of the greatest high kickers I ever saw. Both have good voices. The act is one of class and got over in good shape. Seventeen minutes. Open in full stage, close in one about seven minutes. HARRY TATE'S MOTORING The same big laugh as of old and the laughing hit of the show. Eighteen minutes, in two. MARGARET SAWTELLE DUFFY and a company of eight men and women. The idea of this act is very novel and will, in time, develop into a splendid number. Miss Duffy as a vocalist, tries to sing, when she is interfered with by a boy coming down the aisle, selling pop-corn, peanuts and candy, which s the starting of a bright cross-fire dialogue, between the two, with the ushers, a man and a woman int he box, and another man and several women getting into the conflab, amid yells and screams of laughter. Several vocal numbers are introduced by the company, which by the way, harmonize badly, and they finish with songs and dances on the stage. I believe Miss Duffy could make an improvement in the cast. A good act for the smaller houses, entirely to rough for the better grade. "THE PURPLE LADY" With Ralph Lynn, eight women and one man. Too well known for any comment. A little hard going here, so will move them to seventh position to-night. A splendid number, full of comedy, and as good as any of Mr. Rolfe's productions. Thirty minutes, full stage. Own settings.
