HYDE & BEHMAN'S
Week commencing February 23rd, 1903

SULLIVAN & PASQUELINA   Song and Dance Comedians. Good opening act; no change from their last appearance here, but always make good. They have a clever bit of slum life with a tough dance, which goes well. Pasquelina's change in last half of act is very acceptable. Use full stage, closing in one; time 23 minutes.
MAYER & HEALY   The Circus Rider and Ringmaster. Absolutely no change whatever in this act. Notwithstanding this, it seems to go well with the audience. Hayes is a very clever acrobat and the little fellow always gets his share of the laughs. Full stage. Time 18 minutes.
FLORENCE MOORE   Operatic Soprano. Has an exceptionally well trained voice, and with her pleasing stage appearance and well selected songs, forms an interesting part of the entertainment. Is filling the place of Marion Manela, who was taken sick the first part of the week. Works in one; time 11 minutes.
SAHARET   European Dancer. Her name is somewhat of a drawing feature, and her act, although very short, shows wonderful grace and agility. Her appearance is exceptionally atractive, and she seems to work without apparent effort. Has a male assistant in her Spanish Dance, which is very effective. Full stage; time 6 minutes.
GEORGE H. WOOD   Black Face Monologist. Has some new stuff, with which he makes quite a hit. Is a good, smooth conversationalist and his stories create some laughter. Works in one; time 22 minutes.
THE GREAT HAGGERSENS   Comedy Jugglers. A man and a woman. The woman doesn't juggle much, and the man not at all, but he breaks more crockery in the allotted time than all of his predecessors put together. His great hit is in his facial expression, which is one of absolute vacuity and astonishment, and in his well assumed awkwardness. The act is extremely funny all the way through and makes a laughing hit. Full stage; time 18 minutes.
CHASE BROTHERS & BELMONT   The Mudtown Minstrels. Three rubes who do fairly well in comedy; work in one. Their hayseed dancing is rather clever. Time 12 minutes.
SMITH, DOTY & COE   Good musical act, but comedy rather draggy. Two white face and one black; close in one. Time 19 minutes.
THE FOUR RIANOS   Comedy acrobats; three men and a woman; all new features; some very funny situations   Two of the men dress as monkeys and are well up in their parts; the woman also is a good climber. The novelty of the act makes a hit. Full stage; time 12 min.
BIOGRAPH  Interesting views; notably a trip along the line of the Southern Railway, which is very realistic. Is a good closer. Time 15 minutes.
