REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK JANUARY 24, 1910.

W. W. PROSSER MGR.

WOODS & WOODS TRIO: Two men and a woman in a novelty wire act, which made a very favorable impression all the way through. Each of the performers was distinctly successful and the act finished strong. 13 minutes, garden in 5.

CADETS DE GASCOGNE: 3 men, 1 woman, in a high class singing act, rendering numbers that met with unstinted approval. The act went big all the way through and the finish was strong. 12 minutes, olio in 1.

BRENON, DOWNING & CO.: In "The Intruders". Comedy sketch of a farcical order, which won a lot of laughs. Quite favorably received all the way through but didn't finish very strong. Perfectly satisfactory, however. 19 minutes, C. D. F.

DOOLEY & SAYLES: This popular pair haven't the lighted trouble in gaining the attention of the audience, and they went big all the way through. There was many a laugh and they finished strong. Street in one, 26 minutes.

WILLARD SIMMS & COMPANY: In his well known sketch, "Flinder's Furnished Flat". As usual this act was a big scream and Simms was given a reception upon making his appearance. Finish strong. C. D. F., 27 minutes.

LOU [AHGER? ANGER?]: "The German Soldier". A very clever and out of the ordinary dialect monologuist, who, notwithstanding the preceding lot of comedy, got along very fine and seemed to make a distinctly favorable impression. He held the attention all the way through and finished very well. 13 minutes, street in 1.

ROLFE'S TEN DARK KNIGHTS: Act consists of ten colored boys who introduce a lot of instrumental and vocal music and dancing in two scenes. There were a lot of laughs in the act and it made a very good closer. 26 minutes, garden in 2 and special set in 5.

MOVING PICTURES: O. K.
