REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR THE WEEK OF NOV. 14, 1910. W. W. Prosser. CHARLES MONTRELL: Novelty juggler with black face comedy assistant. Introduces a lot of tricks which held the attention, the comedy element of the act being the demolishing of crockery by the comedian. A very good act which gave satisfaction. Closed strong. 16 minutes, palace in 4. RITA REDFIELD: Juvenile impersonator. Opens with a college boy number, follows with sleepy little girl song, closes with street gamin number. Quite a clever little woman who got by in fairly good shape. Moderately strong finish. 16 minutes, opened in 1, goes to 2, closes in 1. WILL H. FOX: A thorough artist from head to foot. The piano playing is the secondary part of his entertainment. What he introduces is effectively done, but as a story teller and monologist he is one of the best we have had for a long time. A genuine hit all the way through. Finished strong. 33 minutes, C. D. F. MACART & BRADFORD: In the well known sketch, "A Legitimate Hold Up". The act scored heavily all the way through, the work of the three people being absolutely O. K. Great laughing act. 18 minutes, opens in 1, closes in Fancy in 3. MELVILLE & HIGGINS: The best quiet comedy couple in vaudeville. Got better results with less effort than any team I ever saw. One long laugh and a strong finish. 20 minutes, street in 1. MODELS JARDIN DE PARIS: A Frenchy, crazy sort of an offering which won a lot of laughs but at times seemed too long drawn out. A very funny finish in 1. They work the offering out in great shape, making a strong finish. Special set in 3, close in 1; 24 minutes. CURTISS AEROPLANE: Opens with moving pictures showing the Curtiss machine and others in flight. Then follows an exhibition of the machine itself. The lecturer acquired and held the attention of the house which seemed to be intensely interested in the act. At the conclusion a large number of the audience went upon the stage to examine the machine at close range. The act should prove to be one that will create an unusual amount of talk. 16 minutes, picture sheet in 1, landscape in 5. MOVING PICTURES: O. K. Pawtucket R. I. Music Hall 3 days Thurs. Fri. and Sat Nov. 17-18-19 Rita Curtis Violinist, good appearance, dresses well, does some good work, went very well 8 minutes in one Lloyd and Castano Man and woman, singing and talking act, did not please very ordinary team, 18 minutes in one The Van Der Koors Going big same as first three days STAR Week of Nov. 14th 1910 (Opposition) 1st 3 days Rose and Severns--Musical Bells--McCauley & Donnelly Last 3 days Allan and Morris--Leila Cautna--LeMonier & Smith David R Buffinton
