REPORT OF THE SHOW, SHEA'S THEATRE, BUFFALO, WEEK OF OCT. 24TH.
BROTHERS BRIGHT, hand balancers and gymnasts, too well known to require comment, full stage 6 minutes.
COOPER AND ROBINSON, an excellent [??] act at a reasonable price. Both men can sing and dance above the average, all in one 16 minutes.
ISABELLE URQUHART & CO., in a sketch entitled "Even Stephen." There are only two people in this act but they carry it through very cleverly, although the theme is an old one. Miss Urquhart is a very good actress and has some fine gowns which show to advantage clothing her graceful figure, full stage 20 minutes.
THE FOUR MORTONS, this act has always been a big favorite here but they are doing better than ever and have changed their act just enough to make it look new and improved it by so doing, open in one close in full stage 25 minutes.
JAMES HARRIGAN, tramp juggler. His monologue did not go very well Monday afternoon but did somewhat better in the evening, seems to have a little too much roasting of the audience to take well here, open in one, goes to two closes in one 16 minutes.
HARRY ROCHEZ'S PONIES & DOGS, a fairly good animal act but not worth the price that we are paying for it, full stage 15 minutes.
KINETOGRAPH, showing a picture this week that is specially worthy of mention, showing the making of a newspaper from the printing rooms through the various departments to the streets, 10 minutes.
N. B. Lucy Clark who was to appear here this week was taken ill with bronchial trouble and was confined to her room at the hotel and will not appear this week.
THE EIGHT VASSAR GIRLS, this act is about the same as when it was here a year ago, yet always seems to please, open in one close in full stage 20 minutes.
