109. Cleveland Show Week of September 17, 1906. (H. A. Daniels) THE HURLEYS-- A boy and a girl in an acrobatic exhibition. Girl is quite good looking. The girl does all the understanding and heavy work. It proved to be a very good act for an opener. 8 minutes. F. S. FRANK C. YOUNG & KATHLEEN DEVOIE-- Boy and girl both working straight. This is a dancing act. The girl is quite pretty and dresses neatly. They entertain with acrobatic, eccentric, and straight dancing. A very good act for an early spot on the bill. Open in two close in one 11 minutes. DEAN EDSALL & ARTHUR FORBES-- Comedy sketch entitled "The Two Rubies" The action concerns a newly married couple, a little jag on the husband's part, a letter and a photograph in his pocket, and the "I'll go home to mother" argument. The sketch starts off rather slow. All the situations in this act have been worked over many times but these two people seem to arouse some enthusiasm and managed to close the act to fair applause. The act is all right for an early spot on the bill. C.D.F. in 3. 21 min. HAWTHORNE & BURT-- Two men. Hebrew comedians. the "And I laughed fellow, who does the eccentric dance, made just as big a hit as on his last visit here. He had the audience from the start. I would like to play this act three times a year. The Clevelandites eat it up. Drop in one 14 minutes. SAM ELTON-- The fellow who breaks the plates. Elton received advance applause on his entrance. this helped his act considerably. He offered the same material without any noticeable change. However it all went and every one seemed satisfied. F. S. 10 minutes. JAMES J. MORTON-- More advance applause. Some one has said that Jim had a new act. He didn't offer it today. he does not have to have a new act here in Cleveland for every one seemed thoroughly satisfied. with his old stuff if one can judge by today's audience. Drop in one 17 minutes. SIX MUSICAL CUTTYS-- Three brothers and three sisters. this musical act is too well known for extended comment. They received advance applause and managed to hold the audience for 17 minutes, without any trouble. F. S. close in one. 17 minutes. KITABANZAI JAPS-- Eight men. these are the fellows that carry the $5,000 silk drop. For cleveland the act is considered by the critics better than any other Japanese act that has ever played here. They received applause on their entrance today and a majority in the audience seemed to remember them. Open one minute in one then F. S. 17 minutes. KINETOGRAPH-- A Pigeon Fairy-- this picture does not amount to much The Hand of an Artist Very good Athletic Club Outing Very good A Voyage around a star Very good
