New York Criticism--Feb. 12th, 1906.
HUSTON & DALLAS: Man and woman. Man in eccentric character. Comedy Jugglers. Received a few scattered laughs for the comedy. Juggling is very ordinary. Alright as an opening act. 15 min. full st.-3
DANIEL HEALY: A.D. 1186. First appearance. Messenger boy,-singer and dancer. This young man has a pleasing personality with a good voice and a fairly good dancer. Little amateurish in getting on and off, but he will

AUGUSTE VAN BIENE: 'Cellist. Big advance applause. All his selections were strongly applauded. Safe to say the applause hit of the show. 14 min. in one- 2 shows
JOHN C. RICE & SALLY COHEN: In their comedy:-"All the World Loves a Lover." First time here. This act is not as strong as some of their other comedies. Went fairly well with the holiday crowd. In the hands of other people, I presume it would prove a frost. The sketch depends solely on the business which is good. 28 min.-full st.
SMITH & CAMPBELL: Talking Comedy. All new material. Songs and dialogue all original. Started off weak, but got them good and strong on the finish. 18 min.-St-1- 2 shows
WOTPERT TRIO: 3 men. Acrobats and Equilibrists. First time here. All their work is new and novel and each trick applauded. A good act. 9 min.-full stage- 2 shows
KINETOGRAPH:
"The Last Witch." Good photographically. Otherwise fair.
"The Gaieties of Divorce." Good comedy
"The Opium Smoker's Dream." Good.
