Report on Columbus Show week Nov. 25th.-07.    W. W. Prosser.
The Baker Bicycle Troupe: Four men one woman. -- A very good act of its kind that made a good impression. -- They do a routine of tricks of various kinds and introduce comedy fairly. -- The act made good opener. Garden 15M/
Ethel MacDonough: The Girl Behind The Drum: She makes a nice appearance and does a variety of trap drummers work that is excellent. -- She got away with it very satisfactorily and was O. K. Palace 2. 10 minutes.
Edwin Stevens & Co: "A Night Out" -- Man and woman. -- Here is a very clever gentleman whose work went well from first to last. -- I think he could have a more capable woman to support him but Miss Marshall is by no means bad. -- There is not much of a story to the offering but it proves of interest and was well received. 18 minutes C. D. F.
Meredith Sisters: These girls sing a number of character songs and do quite well with them. -- Their greatest fault as I see it is a tendency to drag things. -- They got along O. K. but I believe would have done much better with some livelier material. 18 minutes 1 & 3.
ryan & Richfield: "Mag Haggerty's Reception:" -- The same team as of yore and just as good as ever. -- Ryan does a great Irishman and makes a substantial hit. -- The act is well received throughout and it secured many hearty laughs. -- No doubt but that they will go much bigger with a good house. C. D. F 26 minutes.
Olymphia Quartet: Blackface Male Quartet: "The Independant Cadets" A very ordinary quartet so far as singing is concerned with a line of comedy that fails to arouse much interest. -- They would better the situation by cutting out a lot of talk that really amounts to nothing and which unnecessarily consumes time. 22 minutes. C. D. F. -3 then 1.
The Four Lukens: Well known act and one of unquestioned merit. -- They went well and may be termed a hit. -- 8 minutes. Garden.
Pictures: -- O. K.
