CLEVELAND, OHIO. N.S. Hastings. Feb, 17th., 1908. MACARTE SISTERS. Three pretty young women. F.S. Palace. Time, 13. The act opens with a mandolin trio in spot. Big hand. Then some fast and graceful dancing. Bigger hand. Then some crackerjack tight and slack wire work ending with a sensational finish. The act would make good any place on the bill. ARTHUR WHITELAW In one. time, 15. A genial Irish singer and monologist whose pleasing personality goes a long way toward the success of his act. Jokes and songs up-to-date and good. AL LEECH AND THE THREE ROSEBUDS (attractive girls.) Open in 4, some special props such as school room desks etc. Time 26. Close in 1. The audience simply screamed from start to finish during this act. The fun is clear cut and genuine being a school room travesty. Leech's eccentric dancing takes well. The girls are real singers. CHARLOTTE PARRY & CO Miss Parry, two women dressers, two men. Interior in 4. Presenting "The Comstock Mystery". This is a great protean sketch which calls upon Miss Parry for seven different parts. She plays them all well and the rapidity of her changes brought a hand as every entrance. The sketch itself is interesting and held the audience spellbound. ANDERSON & GOINES. Negro entertainers. Time 16. In one. Two men. These well known performers are in a class by themselves and Clevelanders always give them a big welcome. They scored two real encores Monday afternoon. THE FADETTES. 22 young women and Caroline B Nichols, conductor. Time 40. Dressed in white the Fadettes present an uncommonly pleasing picture as the curtain goes up. As everybody knows their playing is wonderful and not above the average theatre-goer's appreciation. Even the dramatic critics stood up and applauded. "The Star Spangled Banner" which breaks all previous records for Cleveland. LADDIE CLIFF In one. Time 15. A young English boy. for a genuine novelty, Laddie can't be beat. Although young he is a thorough artist and a born entertainer. His singing is immense and his grotesque dancing brings howls of delight from the audience. The people kept him working until he was entirely exhausted. As big a hit as we have had all season. BELLECLARIE BROTHERS. F.S. Two. Time 10. Handbalancing and general feats calling for unusual strength. The act is neat and attractive and devoid of all "stalling." Although nearly 5 o'clock, they held the audience in the seats and performer several entirely new stunts which brought forth enthusiastic applause. A good closing act for one of the best shows of the year. THE KINETOGRAPH. 229.
