FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE REPORT OF SHOW --- May 15th 1911 (Continued) WARD & CURRAN Full stage, close in 1 30 Mins. "The Terrible Judge". Their usual act which went as big as ever. PAT ROONEY & MARION BENT 16 Mins. "The Busy Bell Boy". The act went fairly well but they seemed rather outclassed in the company with which they were entered. The dance is the best part of the act. The show would not have suffered by the absence of the act this week. MAGGIE CLINE 19 Mins Miss Cline went as big as usual and her finish received several encores. Her dance to the air of "Every Little Movement" with Mr Nawn, made a tremendous hit with our audience. AFTERPIECE Big Foot Wallace. "The Terror Of The Plains" in which the parts were taken by Mr Frank Ward, Mrs Annie Yeamans, Mr Curran, Fox & Ward and Mr Allen. This is an old time farce, which is largely extemperaneous, and in which the slap stick plays a large part. As a novelty it pleased our audiences and closed the show in uproarius fashion. NOTE In order to carry out the "Old Timer's" week, the pictures were omitted this week, also everything else possible that savored of modern improvements. The foot lights were lit by property 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
