REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK APRIL 25, 1910.
W. W. PROSSER.
THE THREE ERNESTS: Three men in comedy characters presenting a decidedly meritorious comedy bar and bounding mat act. These boys do a lot of very clever tricks and present them with unqualified success. There are laughs a plenty and the work is a credit to them from a legitimate standpoint. Went big all the way through and finished strong. 6 minutes, wood in 5.
VERNON & CO.: Ventriloquist. Gave a very acceptable performance and got along very nicely all the way through. Finished moderately strong. Open in 1, C. D. F., close in 1. 24 minutes.
LINTON & LAURENCE: In "The Piano Store". Quite an entertaining little comedy skit that apparently pleased, although it wasn't a great hit. Got along very nicely, however, and were thoroughly satisfactory. Finished fairly strong. 17 minutes, C. D. F.
CUNNINGHAM & MARION: These two boys have a good line of comedy acrobatic stuff which they present in a very capable manner. They won a lot of laughs and seemed to keep everybody in thoroughly good humor all the way through. 14 minutes, street in one.
BENJAMIN CHAPIN & CO.: In "At the White House". This well known player and his company held the attention of the audience from beginning to end and the act was given the closest attention and apparently scored quite a hit. The tableau finales were well received and the act finished strong. 28 minutes, library in 3.
SYDNEY DEANE & CO.: This act got along fairly well and the finishing song of Deane was quite a hit, demanding an encore. The act would no doubt have gone better had it not been seen here several times before. 18 minutes, special set in 1.
POWERS' HIPPODROME ELEPHANTS: These two monstrous animals gave a decidedly creditable performance and were warmly applauded all the way through for the various tricks presented. The man who works the act adds to its merit considerably by keeping busy all the time, and thus prevents the interest from lagging. The act went very well all the way through and made a good closer. 12 minutes, garden in 5.
