FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE REPORT OF SHOW May 15th 1911 ALLEN & CLARKE Full stage 15 Mins. Musical act. Two men, one of them a comedy black face, the other straight. They play on bells, concertina and banjo; an act of the old school which made very good opening our show. Can close in one. LOTTIE GILSON Drapery in 1 10 Mins. Here's an act which came back in excellent shape & her old songs were a tremendous hit; they include "Monkey Shine", "Elsie From Chelsea" and "Willie". Miss Gilson looked extremely well barring being a little stouter than formerly. Her voice seems to be as good as ever, and the audience thoroughly enjoyed her old songs. MR & MRS HARRY THORNE C.D.F. 17 Mins "An Uptown Flat". The oldest sketch in vaudeville. When an act like this can come back and take five or six curtain calls, it must be a pretty good act. FOX AND WARD In 1. Own Drop 18 Mins. Black face. This old time minstrel act pleased our audiences immensely. Their talk got considerable laughter and they closed strong with a dance including the "Essence of old Virginia". GUS WILLIAMS In 1 17 Mins. Singing and talking. Mr Williams reestablished his claim to popularity and is doing extremely well. TOM NAWN & Co Exterior Full Stage-27 Mins. "One Touch Of Nature". This act is full of quiet comedy and went extremely well. The skating at the finish got many calls and the expertness with which Mr Nawn handled his feet was a surprise to all who expected to see a rough and tumble finish. MRS ANNIE YEAMANS In 1 6 Mins Monologue. Mrs Yeamans received an ovation on her entrance such as I have seldom seen in a vaudeville theatre, and her dancing and singing received tremendous applause. man with taper, and uniforms on the stage were dispensed with, the property men appearing in their working clothes, also had an old time sweep up, accompanied by the orchestra. The entire show proved a fine hit and from all appearances should do a big week, as it seems to be arousing considerable interest around town and was largely noticed in the papers. R. E. Irwin M'g'r
