CRITICISMS: NEW YORK SHOW WEEK OF APRIL 24th, 1905.
BIOGRAPH,- Drop in one. Seventeen minutes. "Opening of the Base-Ball Season 1905," Good. "Hop O' My Thumb," appeals to the children Good. "Oslerizing," Good.
ZARA & STETSON,- Man and woman. Full stage. Ten minutes. Gun and Baton manipulators. Nicely dressed. Good opening act.
BRAZIL & BRAZIL,- Man and woman. Full stage. Three shows; Fifteen minutes. Juvenile comedy, with some very fair balancing. The act is alright for an early place.
RICE FAMILY,- boy and two girls. Violin solos. Good selections. Nicely costumed. Strongly applauded throughout. A feature for the three show a day section. Full stage, 3 shows; Fourteen minutes.
MATTIE LOCKETT,- Young girl. Child impersonator. Very pleasing personality. Imitations, with little dancing. Imitations very well received. Dancing fair. Splendid act for the three show a day section. Drop in one. Three shows. Thirteen minutes.
TROVOLLO,- Ventriloquist. Full stage. Ventriloquist. Full stage. Close in one. Eighteen minutes. Two shows. this man has a lot of new material. Introduces the same mechanical figures as before. Secured laughs throughout. Went very strong on the finish.
JOE MORRIS,- Street in one. Two shows. Fourteen minutes. Hebrew impersonator and Parody singer. His monologue does not amount to much. His parodies are fair. He has no legal right to obtain that salary, and there is no good reason why he should not work three shows.


secured his usual number of laughs. Drop in one. Two shows. Twenty minutes.
MONROE, MACK and LAWRENCE,- Two men and woman, present the face, "Two Senators." Monroe has a new man in the act who I think is superior to his former partner.
