A 2-min. wait, during which the orchestra played soothing music to prepare the audience for Miss O'Neil. Nance O'Neil and Company. On at 3.39, 12 min, full stage. Miss O'Neil appears as Lady Macbeth in the sleepwalking scene from "Macbeth", one of the greatest of her characterizations. Boston considers a great tragedienne, and she certainly plays this scene superbly. This is a return arrangement for her in this house the present season. In cities where she has not already appeared, it seems to me that "The Jewess" is much the stronger vehicle for her. Bobby North. On at 3.51, 17 min, in 1. He seems to improve every time he comes here. Presented an entirely new batch of material. His automobile monologue is full of bright points, while his parody-medley of Victor Herbert's popular airs won him much hearty applause. He held this hard spot with great credit. Willard Simms and Company. On at 4.08, 16 min full stage, 12 min close in 1; 28 min in all. The same old story: "A scream from start to finish". It seems as though the audience will never tire of his absurdities as the paper-hanger and the chorus-girl. Six Bonesettis. On at 4.36, 8 min, full stage. One of the best acrobatic acts of the season. They actually have some new tumbling feats, that are appreciated by an audience. At $250. this act is very much to the good. Kinetograph. On at 4.44, 18 min. "The Touaregs At Home", an exceedingly interesting film. "The Scullions' Dreams", full of laughs. Robin, The Juggler. On at 5.02, 12 min, full stage, can close in 1, if necessary; 3 shows. A very good comedy juggler. Can safely recommend him to the smaller cities. De Chantal Sisters. On at 5.15, 12 min, in 1; 3 shows. Two good-looking girls of rather a buxom type, who sing fairly well. Are not strong enough for our 2-a-day section. Blanchard Brothers. On at 5.27, 12 min, full stage; can close in 1, if necessary; 3 shows, special set. A fair instrumental act. Think it would get by in an early spot in the smaller houses. Cuts: Bobby North. Omit mention of "liver". Willard Simms. Use the word "Hebrew" instead of "Jewish". Comment. Although the show ran a little slowly this afternoon, I have every reason to believe that it will develop into one of the most pleasing programs of the season. It is surely a very varied entertainment.
