American Trumpeters. exterior in 4 -- 19 minutes -- a man, two women and a girl -- These people call themselves military musicians -- they give a fairly good performance on a variety of instruments playing martial airs exclusively. Two Shows Windom and Fortune .. street in 1 -- 15 minutes -- this is the Wm. H. Windom who formerly headed a quintette -- he has a comedy singing specialty entitled "The Nurse and the Postman." Not much action to it but the act is received very well. Singing good. Thos.

O'Brien and Buckley . fancy parlor in 3 -- 20 minutes -- a rattling good comedy musical act -- always goes big -- Hallen and Fuller ... parlor in 4, close with an encore in 1 -- these two are presenting a farce comedy by George Cohan entitled "Election Bets." It is full of improbabilities but the two players assisted by Edward Simmons manage to get a lot of fun out it and vastly amuse the audience. Josephine Sabel ..... in 1 -- 12 minutes -- same old Sabel -- Perhaps her methods have improved but her popularity has waned Parker's Dogs ....... exterior in 4 -- 12 minutes -- quick trained dogs -- the leaping grey hounds make a fine finish Jose Dandy .......... in 1 - 14 minutes -- a typical Hebrew parodist -- the audience doesn't like him at first but usually reverses its decision and gives him several recalls Al & Mamie Anderson .. parlor in 4 -- two acrobats and tumblers who use eighteen supernumaries in their act -- after a series of interesting feats one of them double somersaults over the heads of the eighteen men standing in line and finishes with a remarkable series of single somersaults.
