NEW YORK CRITICISM: OCTOBER 24,th, 1904:
BIOGRAPH:- 20 minutes: "Off for the Holidays", showing an English family off for the holidays; meet with a lot of mishaps. Very good. "Every Man his Own Cigar Lighter"; trick picture. Good. "Lost Child". Second week. Going with a scream; same as last week.
ROBERT FREAR HEATH: HR-3: Failed to materialize.
MARSHALL & LORRAINE: NH-3: 18 minutes: Close in one. Man and woman in a comedy, in which the woman impersonates a Bowery girl, with a monologue containing some good lines. The man impersonates a "bum Actor". They close with some trombone playing, a little dancing, which is rather tame, although the act is good and would hold their own at the top of any bill.
THE MAGINLEYS: KR-3: 11 minutes: Man and woman in an aerial trapeze act. The act is well known over the circuit. Very good.
DUDLEY & CHESLYN: KR-3, Work in one. Man and woman in a singing and talking comedy. They open with a duet. The woman tells some good stories and sings a coon song; they close with a duet. The act was well received and is an exceptionally strong act for three-a-day section and would make good any time before 3 o'clock.
MATTHEWS & HARRIS: YRR-2, 23 minutes: Man and woman in a comedy entitled "Adam the Second". The act is well known and it has been several years since last here, although it was treated as if a novelty, and they thoroughly appreciated the comedy.
THE BRITTONS: NR-3, 10 minutes: Colored man and woman, in a singing and dancing, and, as usual, scored a big hit.
HOWARD & BLAND: YRR-2: 24 minutes: Man and woman in a musical comedy, entitled "A Strange Boy". The act is well known and it has been several years since last seen here, and it made quite an impression. Mr. Howard's piano playing being the feature as usual. The act went very strong.
LAURA MILLARD: GRR-2: 11 minutes: Operatic soprano. she has a sweet voice, not much volume; elegant costumes and grand personality, with excellent selections. Her place on the bill was a little late. This will be remedied to-night.
BAILEY & MADISON: YHR-2: 11 minutes. Two men in a crazy knock-about acrobatic dancing and talking comedy, in which they do a little of everything. They went with a scream. It is a great closing act, in which place they will have the honor to hold to-night.
ADAMINI & TAYLOR: GYH-2: 14 minutes: Man and woman in a singing and instrumental specialty, in which they use a very pretty Venetian drop. Their selections and singing is especially good, and they went very strong indeed.
CHAS. BRADSHAW & CO: YHR-2: 31 minutes: Containing Mr.
