PHILADELPHIA SHOW -- WEEK OF NOVEMBER 24th:
THE LUCADOS:
Man and woman in a pantomime stunt act. The do some fairly good work in balancing very heavy objects.
CONLEY & KLEIN:
Two men in Song and Dance act, both using wooden shoes. Fair team act.
THE WONDERFUL BUSCH:
Trapeze artist who works in three, dark back-ground, and uses spot light. His work is good but very slow, and he should consume about half the time in accomplishing what he does; seems inclined to pose a bit.
HARRY B. LESTER:
Monologue; appears in full dress. If shifted lower on the bill I think he would make good. In his place this afternoon the audience was very chilly.
MORRISEY & RICH:
Man and woman who also work in one. This is a cross-fire talking act and goes very well here; parts of it are clever, and further down on the bill would make a good act.
ANDREASSEN BROS:
Two men; acrobats. Neatly dressed acrobatic act; required full stage; act is full of ginger and goes very well.
HOWLEY & LESLIE:
Man and woman. The feature of the act is the woman's juvenile impersonations, which went strong.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
FADETTE ORCHESTRA:
As big a hit as last week.
SAILOR & BARBARETTO:
The act is dressed nicely, but there is little to it; it should be further up on the bill.
COLE & JOHNSON:
Aside from the Fadette' sit is the real hit of the show.
HAL MERRITT:
Crayon Artist and mimic; he makes good, but the audience would like more drawing and less mimicking.
BRUNO & RUSSELL:
Man and woman in musical sketch; very fair act, but not strong enough for its place.
MERVILLE, BOOTH & ELMORE:
Man and two women in a sketch called "The Two Juliets." The sketch went very well and is good in its place.
EDWIN LATELL:
Minstrel who works in one; had the audience with him all the time.
AL. LEECH & THREE ROSEBUDS:
Act went strongly here to-day; got the usual laughs, and seems to be placed about right.
THREE MARVELLOUS MERRILLS:
Bicyclists. A good act to close with, for it holds them in their seats.
