BALTIMORE REPORT
Maryland Theatre - Week of April 24th 1911
Marseilles - Seven Minutes F.S. Own Set - Good opening act, his contortion work being set off in showmanlike manner by his white costume against black back-ground.
Siegel and Matthews - 10 Minutes in one - Man and Woman playing banjos and other instruments - Got by all right in this spot.
Walsh, Lynch and Co., in "Huckins Run" 22 Minutes F.S. special set - This "rube" act went well.
Hoey and Lee - 14 Minutes in one - These Hebrew comedians have made many friends here, and their parodies are timely.
Edward Abeles and Charlotte Lander - 21 Minutes F.S. - Abeles sketch "He Tried to be Nice" seemed to appeal to the women in the audience, and was a hit throughout.
Russell and smith's Minstrels - 24 Minutes in 2. Special Set - Five men who sing well, and give an imitation of an old Style Minstrel Show - Their work is all well received, and the moving picture March song went especially well.
Harry Breen - 18 Minutes in one - As big a hit as ever with his extemporaneous songs.
The Eight Berlin Madcaps - 10 Minutes F.S. Their acrobatic specialties and dancing pleases as much as ever.
