TRENT THEATRE CRITICISM, WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 25, 1911 By J. F. Clancy OVERTURE ED. ESTUS Equilibrist. works all in "one." A very clever performer, makes a good opening act. WALKER & ILL Comedy sketch, entitled "Just A Girl." Full stage. Walker & Ill are not of "big League" calibre. Their work might be all right for the small time but not classy enough for this house. They have a fair vehicle in this sketch but for some reason or other they fail to put it over to the satisfaction of the audience. VISOCCHI BROTHERS Whistlers and accordean players. Work in "One." Very good act. Goes as well as anything on the bill. DOROTHY REGEL & LOUIS J. WINSCH Dainty little comedy sketch, entitled "No Trespassing." Opens in full stage, closes in "one." Act carries a most beautiful setting, describing an apple orchard in full bloom. Very similar to that of Agnes Scott and Henry Keane. This act went very well this afternoon but will do much better with the night audience as a lot of their talk is very snappy, some of which the afternoon patrons did not quite comprehend. Taking the act as a whole I think I can safely say it is one of the daintiest little sketches that I have witnessed this season. INTERMISSION MC INTYRE & HEATH In "The Man From Montana." This act is so well known that it is hardly necessary to go into any detailed description about it. Went big this afternoon. KRISTOFFY TRIO Here is a mighty good singing organization and went very well at the opening show today. THE DORLANS This is supposed to be a comedy acrobatic pantomime. About 90% of the time they are before the footlights is given over to the pantomime and they might as well leave out the word "acrobatic" from their descriptive. Whether it is judged from an acrobatic or pantomime point of view the act is not what I would call good and especially not of the right calibre to close our show.
