HYDE & BEHMAN'S.
Brooklyn, New York City.
Week commencing November 16th, 1903.
THE CEBALLOS. Double Wire Act.
Young man and woman who do some good feats on the wire. Both good tumblers. A good opening act. Full stage, can close in one. Time 10 minutes.
JOHNSON & WELLS. Singers and Dancers.
Colored man and woman. They do the regulation song and dance, woman poor singer, both fair dancers and dress well. Act went very well. All in one. Time 13 minutes.
BATES MUSICAL TRIO. Instrumentalists.
Two women and one man, who do a very nice musical act. They use electrical appliances in connection with the act, which makes it very effective. They close on Saxaphones and were well applauded. Full stage. Close in one. Time 15 minutes.
HILDA THOMAS & LOU HALL. "The Lone Star.
This is a very good act. Miss Thomas is not at her best, owing to a severe cold, but the act was well received and went quite strong. Full stage. Time 22 minutes.
GEORGE PRIMROSE & FOLEY BOYS. Minstrel Act.
This is the best Minstrel act ever played here, and created more applause than any act of this season, it was simply an ovation from start to finish. They are too well known to need comment. Full stage. Time 18 minutes.
ADAMINI & TAYLOR. Wandering Minstrels.
Man and woman. (Adamini of the four Dumonds, and Louise Taylor of Operatic fame.) One of the best singing acts played at this house. Very little comedy, but good. Miss Taylor has a most excellent voice and a charming personality, their voices blend finely and songs are catchy. They have a hard place on the vill in following the Primrose act, but made good. All in one. Time 15 minutes.
BARROWS LANCASTER CO. "A Chip of the Old Block."
This is a most excellent sketch, and capitally acted. We consider it better than the "Jolliers". It certainly proved a hit with our audience. Full stage. Time 21 minutes.
JOHNNIE CARROLL. Monologue and Songs.
A Brooklyn man and naturally a favorite. Act went well. All in one. Time 14 minutes.
MANNING'S ENTERTAINERS. "A Hotel Porter".
Four men. Comedy and pantomime. This is a lot of odd stuff put to-gether and acted in a way that gave entire satisfaction to the audience, they are good comedians and tumblers and held the audience to the very close. A good act. Full stage. Time 17 minutes.
