5Th Ave. 9/25/11 GUS WILLIAMS Olio 1 14 min Did very well in his old monologue and songs. He always [???] and should be working more steadily in the good houses. LUKE WILSON F. S. 7 Min An old time bar performer who considering his years does some remarkable feats on the single horizontal bar. Some stalling is done by a clown, which amounts to little except to give the old gentleman time to get his breath. No old time week is complete without an act of this kind. Mrs Yeamans. Olio 1 12 Min This act goes chiefly on sympathy as the old lady does nothing remarkable and has nothing new, but they like to see her on account of old associations. Lydia Yeamans-Titus. assisted by Mr Titus. C. D. F. 13 Min This act went well on account of the two generations being on the same bill. She is undoubtedly clever and her child imitations have never been better done. She is not at all prepossessing in appearance, which is the chief draw back to the act, but did well here in spite of this. MAGGIE KLEIN. Olio. She always was a riot in her own words and this engagement was no exception. Razor Jim An old time afterpiece introducing the company amounted to little except to show the old folks together. Note. This was a very entertaining show and well throughout, but failed to draw much business, chiefly I believe from the fact that it contained too many repeats from the old time bill of last Spring. Had it been entirely new as was the intention at its inception, I think it would have done well, but many patrons failed to attend on account of seeing most of the acts here before. Manager.
