CRITICISM, KEITH'S BIJOU, MARCH 14th. 1904. #2.
SULLIVAN & WESTON. C. D. F. 17 minutes. 5 minutes in one. A nondescript discussion, which by the lively way of its presentation appealed to our audience to-day and earned much laughter and considerable applause. Their close in one however, is not an advantage to the act unless they could introduce some better talk, but they closed well and 2 shows. should do the whole act in one.
DELMORE & LEE. Own set. Black. 10 minutes. Their ladder act which is exceedingly well done and which gained applause throughout and closed very satisfactorily, despite the late hour at which they appeared. 2 shows.
BIOGRAPH. Very ordinary set of pictures, not up to their stansard. 20 minutes.
COMMENT.
One of the most difficult shows ever put on in this theatre, practically impossible to hang all the stuff which was to be hung this week, We were unfortunate enough to be delayed several times. About nine acts required full stage, and the delays hurt the first show. Show is a good one, well up to the standard and I look for business to keep up, although Eddie Foy's appearance at the new house is bound to draw considerable of our patronage from us. A very cold audience was the one present to-day.
