H. T. JORDAN PHILADELPHIA SHOW. MARCH 30, 1914. KRAMER & ROSS. 8 min. Both appear in evening dress. Begin their act with talk which gives them a light start for an opening act, but they picked up on their clever eccentric dancing and finished very well. MOZART DUO. 19 min. Open in three and close in one. Both have excellent voices and offer operatic selections, each one of which was well applauded. Made a good finish after their last classical number. BERT MELROSE. 18 min. Uses four tables, three chairs and barrel and works in clown costume. No end of nonsense that keeps the audience in roars of laughter, al ways expecting something that does not really happen until the climax. His work on the teetering tables, however, is a big scream. Closed with strong applause. FISHER & GREEN. 20 min. This is a splendid sketch along the 'Potash and Pearlmutter" lines, full of funny lines and situations. Opens in one and close full stage. The audience was kept in good humor all through and the finish got strong applause. ELSA RUEGGER. 12 min. A genuine artiste making a very fine appearance and delivering the goods in a way that gets big applause for each selection. Just the sort of a musical feature that a vaudeville audience appreciates and enjoys. "RUHE" DICKINSON. 18 min. This man's work is too well known to need comment, except to say that he was his usual big hit. Clean, wholesome humor put over in an individual style that stamps him as a comedian of the first rank. Closed very big. WILLIAM FAVERSHAM. 24 min. A play of gripping dramatic interest in which Mr. Faversham has long excelled. Held the rapt attention of the audience from start to finish. A very picturesque scene-act. Presented in a very realistic manner and Mr. Faversham has admirable support. STEPP, GOODRICH & KING. 13 min. Held this spot in great shape and in fact stopped the show with their piano, banjo and vocal work, with a good selection of songs which they put over with lots of ginger. Big applause and a strong finish. KASRAC & CO. 13 min. Three girls and a man working full stage and carrying their own drop. Use table and chairs and make a great feature of their comedy falls. Makes a very acceptable closer. KINETOGRAPH. A varied and interesting series of pictures. GEN. REMARKS. Show started off a little quiet but gathered strength as it went along and played off very satisfactorily.
