138. N. S. HASTINGS, [Prss?] Agt. Dec. 23 '07. CLEVELAND? OHIO. GREAT SCOTT In 3. Male assistant. Time 9. Scott balances himself on the top rung of a 15 foot ladder and then does a very clever juggling act with small articles. Frequent applause during the act. A decided novelty and a strong opener. LOLA COTTON In one. time 15. Lola cotton and her father. The man passes through the audience asking for letters, cards, watches, rings or anything to be described. Lola tells what the article is instantly. She also tells addresses on letters, when they were mailed, etc. The act makes a big hit and it is one of the best "mystifiers" we have had in a long time. ALFRED KELCY & Co. Kelcy and Florence Guise. Interior in 4. Time 19. A fairly funny sketch with a strong comedy close telling of the efforts of two stranded actors to get a Christmas turkey. All right for the spot. VERNON Ventriloquist. Opens F.S. closes in one. Time 18. This feature went with lots of applause this afternoon. Vernon has half a dozen different characters and he handles them in great shape. Two encores. GILETTE'S DOGS. Full stage special set and back drop. Time 10. the animals present a complete playlet without the appearance of their trainer. It's a big laugh from start to finish and the "drunk" put on by one of the dogs is one of the funniest stunts ever seen here. JOSEPH HART'S "RAIN-DEARS" Eight pretty girls and Miss Louise Montrose. Time 14. Open in 2 close F.S. Four scenes. This is far and away the best "girl act" we have had for a long time, and we have had a lot lately. The girls are all good looking and Miss Montrose makes a good leader. The costumes are pretty and unusual and the eccentric dancing is very attractive. The close with the girls in heavy rain coats and rubber coats while the "real" rain is falling on them scores heavily with the audience. Three encores. The big hit of the show. Paul Quinn and Joe Hart In 1. Time 21. A satirical sketch entitled the "Land Agent." We are lead to a fake town known as "Lemon City". That tells the whole tale-Lemon from start to finish. One of the worst we have had all season. The idea of the sketch might succeed with two good comedians, but some of the jokes have whiskers, and the rest are old enough to know better. There are, however, one or two good laughs during the long twenty-one minutes. THE HOLLOWAYS. 2 men, 1 woman, 1 male assistant. F.S. Palace. Time 15. A great wire act with many exclusive features. The Holloways ride bicycles, turn hand springs and cake walk on the wire. They have many other skillful tricks which are highly appreciated by the audience. A very strong act. THE KINETOGRAPH
