REPORT OF SHOW, SHEA'S THEATRE, BUFFALO, N. Y., WEEK OF NOV. 7TH.
POULTON & DOLEY, comedy cycle act; good; full stage 12 minutes.
CATHERINE NELSON, some imitations, songs; a good act for the money, all in one 13 minutes.
MAY VOKES & CO., in a sketch called "The Model Maid" in which Miss Vokes plays a part something on the order of Sis Hopkins. There seems to be something lacking to the act and while Miss Vokes is extremely funny she does not seem to get all of the meat she should Her name does not appear to be as good a drawing card as it should, full stage 21 minutes.
DIGBY BELL, telling his experiences at the Information Bureau of a Railway Station, goes very big with the audience all in one 23 mi.
CHARLES BURKE & GRACE LA RUE, undoubtedly the hit of the bill. This is their second appearance here in this same act but they are as strong as ever, full stage 21 minutes.
TEN ICHI TROUPE. This act is thoroughly known all along the line and is about the same as before, full stage 22 minutes.
ORPHEUS COMEDY FOUR. Not going very well but this may be due in part to the difficult position they have towards the end of the bill, all in one 16 minutes.
ROATTINO & STEVENS, a novel dancing act, seems to please, full stage 14 minutes.
Kinetograph, 12 minutes.
