Cleveland Show, Week Jan. 22nd, 1905.
(H. A. Daniels.)
REDFORD & WINCHESTER--Two men. Burlesque juggling act. One works straight the other grotesque. A very good act for an opener. Received numerous laughs and frequent applause. Good act. Wood 4, special drop. 13 min.
LILLIAN LE ROY--Vocalist, "The little girl with the big voice." She seems to thoroughly understand the tricks necessary for a straight vocalist to get applause, she acts her song. Her three numbers today were liberally applauded. Drop in one. 12 min.
MR. & MRS. EDWARD ESMONDE--Sketch entitled "In Alaska." I believe they have recently adopted this name for the act instead of "The Cucumber" The sketch is quite a serious little affair. There is quite a good deal of pathos in the act. It went quite well, with applause at the close. Good act. Special set in three. 24 min.
CELINA BOBE--Violinist and Xylophone soloist. Well known on the circuit. An excellent act in one. Every number was heartily applauded. Drop in one. 25 min.
BARNEY FAGAN & HENRIETTA BYRON--Singing, dancing, and lightning change act, well known in vaudeville. As there was very little comedy in the show ahead of this act, it went very well indeed. We have no unusual acts this week, and so by comparison this act could be considered the feature of the show. I doubt if this would be the case in an exceptional strong bill. The act seemed to be appreciated today, and received some laughter and applause. C. D. F. in three, close in one. 25 min.

PARROS BROTHERS--Head and hand balancers. Well known act on the circuit. Can go anywhere on most any bill and make good. All of their work was applauded. Very good act. Palace in five. 14 min.

DILLON BROTHERS--Parodies. Too well known for comment. I have never known these boys to fail to make a hit. They had a lot of new parodies today, and they all went well. A very good act. Drop in one. 15 min.

WATSON'S FARMYARD--This act is too well known for comment. It is a great act for the children. Always makes a hit. 18 min.

KINETOGRAPH--"The train wreckers." A very good picture.
