42 oOo NEW YORK SHOW: WEEK NOVEMBER 3rd: Stereopticon:- Usual collection of views; 8 minutes in one. GRR-3, THE CHAMBERLINS:- Man and woman in an exhibition in what can be done with the rope lasso. The act is quite novel and they introduce some rather remarkable methods of handling a rope. There is nothing about the act to get any great amount of applause, but the audience seemed to be very much pleased and interested in it. 10 minutes, full stage. NR-3, CONLEY & KLEIN:- Two men in a singing, talking and dancing act. The conversation is rather ordinary but nothing at all harmful about it; which carries them off all right. It can be called a fair three-show act. 15 minutes, in one. GRR-3, CLAUDIUS & CORBIN:- Two men in banjo duets, and to my mind, they are about as good as any artist in this line. This is not saying much of course, from a musical standpoint, but they manage to catch the audience in good shape, especially with their rendition of "The Poet and Peasant" overture. 11 minutes, in one. NH-3, THE MARINELLAS:- Man and woman in a very clever ring performance the man being especially good. 12 minutes; full stage. HR-3, SOPHIE BURNHAM:- Rather neat, clean appearing young woman, who does a turn of ballads. She has a very sweet soprano voice, not powerful, but distinct and distinguished by clear enunciations. 10 Mins. in one. HRR-2, FADETTES ORCHESTRA:- Met with its usual big reception and was obliged to raise the curtain at the finish in order for them to play an encore. 30 minutes, full stage. SR-3, Ed. GRAY:- Monologue and stories: About the same act he did here before with a change of songs. Very good three-a-day act. 17 Mins. in one. YRR-2, COLE & JOHNSON:- Two colored men in a peculiar specialty introducing Johnson's high-class piano playing and Bob Cole's coon songs, together with concerted songs by both, with a vein of comedy woven into the whole. Unquestionably the best and most satisfactory colored act we play. 22 minutes; full stage. AR-2, GEO: YEOMAN:- This fellow was recommended to me very highly, and I possibly got my ideas up to a more exalted idea of his ability than I should have done. He is simply a fair German comedian and has nothing especially new and I can only class him as an ordinary three0show act, so far as our audiences go. 10 minutes, in one. SRR-2, TEN ICHI TROUPE:- They made a change in their act to-day, opening with black art, which did very nicely indeed. The other two acts of thumb-tying and the water tricks, it goes without saying, were cordially received. 30 minutes; full stage. YHR-2, AMELIA SUMMERVILLE:- In a monologue called "An Afternoon Tea". Miss Summerville was in decidedly bad form on account of a cold and requested permission this morning to postpone the date, but as I had her billed as one of the features I hardly liked to do that, so induced her to go on. Her act was good this afternoon and was thoroughly appreciated, and I should imagine when her voice is all right, that it might be a very good specialty. 20 minutes, in one. YHR-2, CRESSY & DAYNE:- in "The Village Lawyer", which went as strong as ever. 22 minutes; full stage. GRR-2, GEO. C. DAVIS:- Usual monologue. Very late on the bill and made a distinct impression as always. 15 minutes in one. GYH-2, PALFREY & HILTON:- Comedy cyclists: Hebrew and straight. I think they are as good as any in their line we have ever played. 15 Min. full stage. BIOGRAPH:- Usual collection of views: 12 minutes, in one. S. K. HODGDON.
