New York Show, Week of September 21, 1903.--2.
GRR 2--UCILE JOCKLYN.--Vocalist This woman has a highly cultivated voice, a fine stage appearance, and, I think, gave our audience this afternoon about as much satisfaction as any singer that we have had here in a long time. 8 minutes in one.
YHN 2--CRESSY & DAYNE.-- These people have introduced another new act this visit entitled "The New Depot," and it is at least on a par with if not better than any of his former efforts. He is certainly the peer of all sketch writers and can always be relied upon to please the audience with any act that he may produce. 25 minutes, full stage.
YHR 2--CHARLIE CASE.--Black face comedian. Charlie had a very hard place on the bill , following everybody else, but, as usual, his peculiar methods reached the audience at once and he created lots of laughter and received lots of applause. 12 minutes in one.
YHR 2--TONY WILSON AND WIFE.--The wife in this case is Mlle. Heloise who appeared earlier in the afternoon. They do a double horizontal bar act which introduces the bounding net. They are both excellent bar per formers. Wilson, I believe, being the originator of this rubber net business. The woman is fully as good as her husband and does about as good an act on the bars as she does on the trapeze. It is a first class urn. 10 minutes, full stage.
BIOGRAPH.--They gave us a miscellaneous collection of views this week, which I was not able to see as I was called away to the telephone, but I understand that it was very satisfactory indeed. 15 minutes in one.
GYH--CHAS. MILDARE.--Whistler. Mr. Mildare was sixteen hours late. The steamer which should have arrived last night not reaching New York until late this afternoon. I am so desperately in need of acts in one, however, that I shall let him go on tonight and will send a criticism of his act later on.
