REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK APRIL 4, 1910.

W. W. PROSSER.

THE DALYS: Man and woman in a roller skating act, in which they introduce a lot of stunts that found favor, the act proving quite a good opener. Finished strong. 15 minutes, special in 4.

LEONARD & WHITNEY: Man and woman in a conventional comedy skit which won a considerable number of laughs and at times only went fairly well. Not a bad act nor yet especially good. Proved just about right for the place it had on the bill. 17 minutes, C. D. F. in 3.

FRED DUPREZ: Monologist and comedian. He has a line of parodies and talk that apparently pleased pretty well. It was given a number of good solid laughs and the act finished moderately strong. Would term this about fair, and that's all. 18 minutes, street in one.

MRS. WILLIAM E. ANNIS, Assisted by three young men, a tenor, violinist and 'cellist. This is a straight musical act, and each of the numbers offered went pretty strong. Mrs. Annis is easily the weakest part of the act, and if it were not for her associates there would be nothing to it. The act pleased, however, and proved satisfactory. Finished strong. 17 minutes, C. D. F. in 3.

THE McNAUGHTON BROS: This well known team made a very favorable impression all the way through, won a lot of laughs and finished strong. Thoroughly satisfactory. Street in one, wood in two; 20 minutes.

ALICE LLOYD: Opened moderately well and kept going a little better with each song, finishing very strong with the 6th number. Was compelled to take several bows and seemed to thoroughly please everybody. 27 minutes, olio in 1.

BELLCLAIRS & HERMAN: "Modern Hercules". The various feats of strength introduced by these men won unstinted approval. The act held the audience all the way through and finished strong. Special set in 3, 11 minutes.
