REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR THE WEEK OF OCT. 10, 1910.
W. W. Prosser.
PLOETZ-LARELLA TRIO: Three young women in a novelty hand balancing and contorion act. They introduce a number of tricks which found favor and earned some applause. The act went moderately all the way through with a fairly strong finish. Nothing remarkable, but all right for the place. 8 minutes, palace in 4.
J. HUNTER WILSON & EFFIE PEARSON: In "Looking For a Romeo". Singing and taling act and quite a good one. The male member of the team works at the opening as a "plant" in the audience. The young woman makes a very pleasing appearance, as do both of them, in fact. They have a line of cross-fire talk that seems to please and their songs were handled in an effective manner. The act won favor all the way through. 16 minutes, olio in 1.
MR. & MRS. JIMMY BARRY: In "At Hensfoot Corners". This well known act got along very nicely, although they didn't go so big as on former occasions. The reason for this is undoubtedly that they are back too soon. However, they had no trouble in holding the audience all the way through, and the act must be credited with having a good strong finish. They will no doubt prove all right during the week. 22 minutes, special in 5.
AMY BUTLER & HER FOUR COMEDIANS: This young woman scored an unqualified personal success, going unusually big. All of her individual efforts were well received. The four young men who assist her prove to be a highly valuable acquisition, their singing being one of the distinct hits. Each and every number won unstinted applause, and the quintette of performers were compelled to respond with many bows at the finish. 19 minutes, olio in 1.
MASTER GABRIEL & CO.: In "Tommy Tucker". Gabriel and Lamar, as the dog, went very well and apparently had no trouble in making themselves solid with the audience. The supporting company was all that is necessary. The act got along all right all the way through with a very good finish. 23 minutes, garden in 5.
RAYMOND & CAVERLY: This thoroughly established team were one long scream. The audience applauded until it seemed to be thoroughly tired out yet would not let them go. Very few acts ever scored here as heavily as they did to-day. 21 minutes, street in 1.
McPHEE & HILL: This act made an excellent closer, acquiring the attention of the at the opening and holding it throughout without the slightest trouble. No fault to find. 12 minutes, wood in 5.
MOVING PICTURE:  O. K.
