234. Columbus, Ohio, Week Jany. 14- 1907.------W. W. Prosser. Hathaway and Seigel: A comedy skit by man and woman: -- The talking end of the set is of no particular value but both are good dancers, especially the male member. -- Made a favorable impression and was a good opener. Carry special set interior in two. -- 16 minutes. Rae and Brosche: "Woman of Few Words" -- Comedy sketch. Man and woman: Opens in one: Then C. D. F -- A lot of good comedy lines by the man which pleased greatly. -- Received a hearty recall at the finish. About as good a comedy set as we have had so far. -- good laughs all through 19 minutes. Columbia Four: Male quartet: A laugh throughout. -- They sing very well. -- The solo work not especially striking but the ensemble all that could be desired. -- A lot of good comedy by the German member. -- Work well together and the house would hardly let them off. -- Nothing has pleased more here since the house opened. -- All in one. -- 23 minutes. Boston Fadettes: An set too well known to necessitate comment. Suffice it to say that they made a great hit and were compelled to respond with several enchores. -- Nothing like this set ever seen here before: far above the usual musical attraction and a success of the first grade. 30 minutes: Palace interior. Bill Van: The best black face monologuist that has been seen in this city for many a day. -- He was a scream making a hit of unusual proportions. -- Responded to several enchores. -- If you have anything as good send it on. -- Everybody delighted with him. -- 20 minutes in one. LaVine Cimeron Trio: One woman two men: Woman does very good contortion work: men acrobatic: not a great set by any means but one that makes good. -- Went very well but seems a little weak to close a show that is making a big success from the beginning. -- Special interior set. 13 minutes. Comment: Judging from its reception this is the strongest show we have had since the house opened. --
