They attempt to do comedy, but are unable to carry it. Act is alright for Hundred and a Quarter and three shows. 15 min.-full stage- 2 shows ANNA EVA FAY: This woman presents the mind-reading exhibition only this week. She answered fully fifty questions to-day and all seemed to be correct. The audience were very very much interested, and I presume according to the inquiries we had, that she will draw some money. 26 min. in one SHEAN & WARREN: It is remarkable how this act holds on. They went on to-day quite late and they managed to score no end of laughs. I believe they went fully as strong as on its first presentation.
