REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK APRIL 11, 1910.

W. W. PROSSER.

THE MAC GREGORS: Two young men and a young woman, introducing concertinas and xylophones. The work was only fairy well received but is not a bad opener. 13 minutes, C. D. F.

ITALIAN TRIO: Straight singing act whose work was moderately well received and who finished fairly strong. Satisfactory. Olio in one, 11 minutes.

CARPENTER, GRADY & CO.: In "The Toll Bridge". Rural comedy playlet presented by a very meritorious cast. The character old man is an excellent piece of work. The woman was strong with both the comedy and pathos. The act gave very good satisfaction and finished strong. Special set in 4, 18 minutes.

LITTLE BILLY: Vaudeville's Tiniest Headliner, and he proved to be a decided hit. All of his work went big and he seemed to more than please. 12 minutes, olio in 1.

CONROY, LE MAIRE & CO.: Presenting "A King For A Night"; also known as "The King of Blackwellis". Proved a very strong laughing and and really went better than anything in the show up to this point. Finished strong. 20 minutes, C. D. F.

CHARLES & FFANNIE VAN and CO.: In "A Case of Emergency". This well known act did only fair and wasn't nearly as big a hit as last time we played it. The work of the individual seemed to be all right, but for some reason or other the act failed to score very heavily and finished only fairly strong. 15 minutes, street in 1.

DUNCAN'S ROYAL SCOTCH COLLIES: A fine looking lot of dogs that are well trained and perform a number of unusual feats, each and all of which scored heavily. The act is well worth while and proved a very good closer.

MOVING PICTURES: O. K.
