GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURGH, PA.    J. P. Harris.
Nov. 20, 1911.
THE LANGDONS.
15 minutes. Special set. A spectacular travesty, "A Night on the Boulevard." A singing and talking act with a prop automobile and beautiful illuminated drop and wings. They get a lot of comedy out of their props. Taking as a whole, it would be classed as a very good act.
MARIE FENTON.
12 minutes. Olio. A well dressed comedienne, making several changes and going very well for No. on our bill. I am sure she could do well as late as 9 o'clock.
FIVE SATSUDAS.
12 minutes. Special set. One of the best I have seen, with the usual Japanese juggling.
THE GRAZERS.
11 minutes. Palace. Musical and Terpsichorean novelty. This is a very clever act with quite a surprise, as one of the team is a man dressed as a toe dancer; great applause when the wig is removed. This act is different from other and can be classed as very good.
MRS. GENE HUGHES & Co.
27 minutes. Interior in three. Presenting "YOUTH." Mrs. Hughes has a very good farce with only a fair company. However, they did very well for us. While it is a little broad, I cannot say it is offensive. Would class it as being a very good act.
EVA TANGUAY.
20 minutes. Olio. singing six songs with two new ones that are along the same line as her others. She is the same big hit she has always been for us and the business was also very big.
FREY TWINS.
8 minutes. Scientific wrestling. This is the third time we have played the act. I was forced to put them down to close the show. I was really surprised at how well they held our audience.
