H. A. DANIELS. CLEVELAND? OHIO. Nov. 11 '07. GERTELLA- A young lady doing a dancing and swinging trapeze act. Carries a lot of special scenery. Does not sing now. quite a good little opening act. F. S. 10 Min. ED. GRAY. "The Tall Tale Teller". While this man was once a member of Mr. Jordan's Philadelphia stock company, he has never played this theatre. The audience today seemed to like him immensely and he had no trouble in holding down this spot. Drop in one. [10? 16?] min. MADDEN & FITZPATRICK Sketch intitled "The Turn of the Tide." It was midnight, and all was still. Harold Montmorency Barrassford enters with a dress suit, and reads a letter stating this his girl love him almost to death, but that she positively will not marry him, until he has shown by some brave deed that he is worthy of her monstrous affection. The burglar enters and becomes quite sociable with Harold and after a few drinks and a pleasant talk the burglar seats himself at the piano and plays two selections-- and those selections are the only thing in the whole act worth while--after the selections the burglar accompanies Harold while Harold sings to him--all of which is very illogical, and without reason. I am sorry to say that Harold has no voice. While there is nothing really bad in the act, it is not one that will ever amount to a great deal. The act closed better than it opened, and received some applause at the curtain. 21 minutes. C. D. F. 3. BERTIE HERRON- The original Minstrel Miss. This young lady played at the Lyric Theatre for ten cents last season, but she has improved her act considerably since that time. She cannot sing, but she manages to make good on her jokes and stories and this combined with her blacking up in the presence of the audience, doing part of her old minstrel act, allows her to get bye with applause to spare. All right for this spot. 14 minutes. Drop in one. (F. H. BRANDT. CRIT.) ARTHUR DUNN & MARIE GLAZIER. IN THE Musical Comedietta "The Messenger Boy." This act consists mostly of rapid fire conversation, and a little burlesque piano playing, and one or two songs. While there is very little to the act in general, they went very well this afternoon, and got a fairly good hand at close. Miss Glazer has a very good voice and feel that she could add greatly to the act if she were to sing one or two songs. Center D. F. 20 min. KINETOGRAPH. GENARRO'S VENETIAN GONDOLIER BAND. "Presenting a Night in Venice." There is no doubt but what this act is well known on the circuit, but I wish to say that in my mind this act has improved about fifty percent as far as their playing goes, and was very pleased to see them go better than when they were here last June during the opposition. F. S. 33 min. Spec. Drop. Five curtain calls at close CLIFFORD & BURKE. Act well known on circuit. Received advance applause. Considering the spot they were in and with no new material they certainly made good. 22 min. in One. WILLS & HASSAN World's Greatest Equilibrists. Two men, doing about the usual line of stuff these fellows do. Show very late, and a good many of the audience are leaving, Nevertheless they received good applause all through their work. Good act. Palace. 11 Min.
