UNION SQUARE  CRITICISM-----WEEK OF NOV. 25th, 1907.
GREEN BROS. Comedy Baseball Jugglers. A fair act. All right to open the show. Went fair. 10 minutes, full stage. Three shows.
CHARLIE FARRELL  The Whistling Mimic. this fellow does a good act. His singing, dancing and whistling is very good. A good three a day act. Went very well. 10 minutes in one. Three shows.
THE LIPPINCOTTS  Refined Singers and Dancers. This is only a fair act. Their singing and dancing is fair. I don't know why this act was booked. Went fair. 10 minutes in one. Three shows.
BARR AND EVANS  Character Comedy Creators. This act always makes good. Plenty of comedy, and a good three a day act. Went well. 17 minutes, full stage. Three shows.
MARTIN VAN BERGEN  America's Great Young Baritone. This fellow went very big. He has a very good voice, and knows how to use it. He sang three songs all of which went big. I think he is going to be a "Find." 11 minutes in one. Two shows.
DARRAS BROS.  Equilibrists on the Flying Trapeze. A very good act. Both clever men. I like it as well as any act of its kind. Went very well. 11 minutes, full stage.
COLLINS AND BROWN  The Germans with the Blackboard. A very good act. They have some good material, also good parodies. Went very well. 14 minutes in one.
JOE MAXWELL AND COMPANY In "A Night in a Police Station." A very good act, and very well put on. He has a good company, and they all have good voices, but I think he is getting a little too much money for this act. Went very well. 24 minutes, full stage.
ANCILOTTI & "PIL"  The man is the whole act, as he is very funny in his talk; as for the act itself I would rather have Foster and his Dog Mike any day. Went very well. 12 minutes in one.
FITZGIBBON-McCOY TRIO  In a Mischievous Brother." This act always makes good. A good comedy act. Went very well. 16 minutes, full stage.


MACARTE SISTERS  Unique and artistic novelty. A very good act. Went very big. 15 minutes, full stage.
KINETOGRAPH. Cast up By the Sea. Good Interesting Film. The Yale Laundry. Good comedy film.
NOTE.
The show this week is much better than last week, especially the three show section. The show ran very smooth, and every act went well.
