REPORT OF COLONIAL, LAWRENCE, WEEK OF FEB. 3, 1911.
John F. Adams, Critic.

Richards - "Impersonator" finely staged, beautiful dresses and light effects, his dancing good. Went big. 10 min. full stage.

Trainor and Wixon - singing and talking. Went only fair. 17 min. in one.

Lee Boggs and Co. - in the sketch "The Old Folks at Home" an old fashioned old homestead act, with a capable company and a good story running through it. 4 people, act made a big hit. 22 min. full stage.

Dolce Sisters - three girls in a singing act, nicely costumed, a good selection of songs, audience couldn't seem to get enough of them, a decided hit. 16 min. in one.

Frederic Hawley - presenting "The Bandit" third time we have played "The Bandit" and seemed to go better each time. 22 min full stage own set.

Nat Carr - character monologuist. and comedian. Carr is working in full dress this year in place of Hebrew makeup when he was there last season, he was a bit hit here then but went even better today. I like Carr better in full dress than in character makeup, he made an unqualified hit this afternoon. 20 min. in one.

B.A. Rolfe's "Courtiers" - this is the third one of Rolfes acts have played this season and each one seems to grow better. This is the best musical act we have ever ha, the company A 1, costumes and setting fine, made a very big hit. 26 min. full stage.

Motion Pictures. O. K.
