REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK DECEMBER 13, 1909.
W. W. PROSSER.
RAYNO'S BULL DOGS: A most meritorious dog act in which a great number of novel and entertaining feats are introduced, all of which made a distinct hit, the act throughout being very successful and finishing very strong. 10 minutes, garden in 5.
RYAN & WHITE: A wonderful pair of dancers, who gained attention the minute they entered and went like a whirlwind all the way through. A really great dancing act. 8 minutes, street in one.
ECKHOFF & GORDON: Musical laugh-makers. This act went fairly well all the way through and the finish was moderately strong. Not a distinct hit but got by nicely. 15 minutes, palace in 5.
SADIE JANSEL: This young woman introduced a number of songs and impersonations, all of which were fairly well received except the last number, "Smarty", which pulled her up nicely and gave her a good strong finish. 12 minutes, olio in 1.
HUGH LLOYD: This bounding rope artist held the attention of the audience all the way through. There were numerous punctuations of applause and the finish was all that could be desired. Terrace in 5, 16 minutes.
THE GREAT LESTER: A genuine artist who had not the slightest trouble in giving the house the best line of entertainment of its kind ever seen here. Held the undivided attention throughout and finished very strong. 30 minutes, olio in 1.
LANCTOE, LUCIER & CO.: In a one-act comedy, "A Fool's Errand". A good low comedy offering which seemed to please them all the way through, but for some reason or another didn't draw as strong as last year. They were entirely satisfactory, however, and got away with it very nicely. 22 minutes, C. D. F. in 3.
LADY BETTY: A remarkable chimpanzee who presents a series of tricks that are so human as to be almost startling. While there was no great applause through the act it was apparent that the audience was thoroughly interested and at the finish she was given a good solid round of applause. I believe she will create a great deal of talk and have a tendency to draw them in. 16 minutes, C. D. F. in 3.
