H. T. JORDAN PHILADELPHIA SHOW NOV. 29, 1915. HEARST SELIG PICTURES. 15 min. Very good variety of pictures. PAUL, LeVAN & DOBBS. 5 min. Three men in a lively acrobatic act with a little bit of comedy. Good opener. MARION WEEKS. 15 min. Young girl with a coloratura soprano of excellent quality. Sings a repertoire of pleasing numbers and obtains splendid results. Scored very well in second position. ARTHUR SULLIVAN & CO. 16 min. In a dramatic playlet called "Straight." This is a crook play working into a big climax at the finish and as an underworld sketch, it held close attention and won a fair amount of applause. AL & FANNIE STEDMAN. 14 min. "Pianocapers." A "nut" act with piano music and songs that kept the audience laughing from start to finish. Closed to a small sized riot of applause. VASCO. 19 min. "The Mad Musician." This is the first week of his second American tour. He was over on this side about six years ago. Plays about thirty instruments of all kinds. Uses some comedy which is his weakest point, but the act gets over in good shape on its qualities as a musical novelty. Finished to a big hand of applause. HUSSEY & BOYLE. 26 min. "The New Chauffeur." These boys were a scream of laughter from start to finish and the audience could hardly get enough of them, bringing them back several times to take extra bows. LUBOWSKA. 12 min. The dancing of this young Russian woman is entirely different than vaudeville has ever seen and the audience was held in rapt attention through each of her three numbers. She wears some wonderful costumes and on looks, novelty and merit of dancing, the act is one of the most artistic vaudeville can boast of and earned liberal applause. WHITING & BURT. 14 min. "Songsayings." With about the same material that they used on their last tour around the circuit, they were a hit with their songs. Scored strongly in the next-to-closing position. CORRADINI'S ANIMALS. 12 min. This act includes zebras, elephants, dogs and a horse, and is one of the showiest acts of its kind on the stage, winning applause in the closing spot of a long show. GENERAL REMARKS. With three of the biggest features real novelties and the entire show carried along by some excellent comedy and acts which are comparatively new, this bill ranks as one of the best we have had for some time and scored deservedly. CUTS HUSSEY & BOYLE: Expression "bed was alive." also line in song, "While we are in the ditches," etc.
