UNION SQUARE CRITICISM-----WEEK OF DEC. 30th, 1907.
BLACK AND MILLER  Comedy Acrobats. This is a good act. They are both good acrobats, and the comedy in the act is fair. 14 minutes, full stage. Three shows.
GERTIE LeCLAIR & PICKS  This is a fair act. Miss LeClair can't sing or dance, but the only thing that holds this act up is the Picks. Four picks, two girls and two boys. They are good dancers, and fair singers. The Baton Swinging and Gymnastic work is very good. Went fair. 13 minutes in two. Three shows.
THE KRAMERS  Comedy Sketch. This is the second time it has played here. The girl has a fair voice and she is a good dancer. Went very well. 13 minutes, full stage and close in one. Three shows.
EARLE & BARTLETT  Irish Comedy Sketch. This act always seems to make good here. Went very well. 15 minutes, full stage. Three shows.
MADGE FOX  Comedienne. This girl is very clever. She is good looking and makes a neat appearance on the stage. She sang about four songs all of which were good. Went very well. 15 minutes in one. Two shows.
JAMES A. KIERNAN & COMPANY In "Taming of the Beast." Both James A. and Thomas Kiernan are very clever. Miss Cole is good looking, and has a very good voice. I can safely say that this sketch would make good anywhere. Went very well. 18 minutes, full stage and close in one.
AMETA  Fire Dancer. All her dances got good applause. Went very well. 10 minutes, full stage.
BILLY S. CLIFFORD   The Famous Monologist. This fellow has some very good material, and he delivers it very well. He sang two songs all of which were good, and he is also a good dancer. 18 minutes in one. Went very well.
DOLAN AND LENHARR  In "Taking Chances." This is a very good comedy sketch. Both Mr. Doland and Miss Lenharr play their parts very well indeed. Went very well. 26 minutes, full stage.


Scene is in a office, and the girls playing on typewriters. They are all good looking and good singers. Mr. Stanely gives his various imitations throughout the sketch all of which were good. Went very well. 24 minutes, full stage and close in one.
OTTO BROS.  German Comedians. These two fellows do a very good act. Their singing and dancing is excellent. Went very well. 14 minutes in one.
CAMILLE TRIO  This is an excellent closing act. Went very well.
KINETOGRAPH  All the pictures are good.
