Report on Columbus show week Feby 3rd. -- 08 -- W. W. Prosser.
McCart's Monks: A lot of very well trained monks in a number of stunts of the usual order, all of which went well and served to make the act a success. Solid applause at finish. Garden 14 minutes.
A. O. Duncan: ventriloquist: He has about the same line of material as usual and made quite a favorable impression with it. -- I believe he went much better than a year ago. Conservatory: 21 minutes.
Farrell - Taylor Trio: - Two men one woman: One man backface rough comedy, the other wench: -- woman white and straight: -- The act is good and bad in spots, the former predominating. -- Some time is wasted during the C. D. F. but the finish in one works up well and they get away satisfactorily. -- Singing, instrumental music introduced. -- 26 minutes.
Bert Levy: One of the very best offerings ever given her. -- He went big from beginning to end and may be accounted a substantial hit. -- In fact the hit of the bill. Sheet in 3.
Kinetograph: The Little Girl Who Didn't Believe in Santa Claus: -- Very good. 10 minutes.
Abels Arden Co: Sketch, "3 of A Kind." -- This act went fairly well but not big by any means. -- This town is hard on sketches of any kind. C. D. F. 27 mi.
Rialto Comedy Four: A male quartet, three men straight, one comedy, rube. Rube sang off key this afternoon but got along very nicely for all of that. -- The Rube has a vein of comedy that seemed to take. -- Not a very strong act.  15 minutes in one.
Boys in Blue: Excellent military act. -- Fine drilling with elaborate  finish in wall scaling, shooting, etc. -- The act went with a vim all through and should prove a hit of the first class. 14 minutes. Special set.
