MARYLAND THEATRE
BALTIMORE - Week Oct. 9, '11.
CLEMENSO BROTHERS
14 Min. Full Stage - Two clowns doing an old time musical act with a few acrobatic stunts. Act not good enough for the Big Time.
JOHNNY SMALL & SMALL SISTERS
15 Min. in 1 1/2 - Good dancing, poor singing and bad comedy. This is another small time act.
CARSON & WILLARD
17 Min. in 1 - A very good Dutch act, going all right here.
HANLON BROS. & CO.
18 Min. Full Stage - This well known act held its own in good shape.
3 WHITE KUHNS
20 Min. in 1 - The first and only real hit of the show.
KALMAR & BROWN
18 Min. Full stage - A splendid act, but just a little worn for an audience, as this is its third appearance.
PAUL ARMSTRONG'S ACT
"THE SIGNAL," starring Catherine Calvert. 40 Min. - Four scenes all their own. Here is a real melodrama that should work out into a good piece of vaudeville property, as it contains plenty of action in the way of a kidnapping, rescue and rounding up of a band of Black Handers, an attractive and capable star in Miss Calvert and a good name to bill in Paul Armstrong's. They gave a very good performance for an opening, and as Armstrong is here and working hard to smooth out the rough parts, I think it will be in good shape by Thursday.
