DAVIS & WALKER-KR-3-Man and woman. Colored act. Regular singing and dancing specialties. Good lively act, full of life and ginger. Valuable for the three-show division. took four bows. 10 mins. in one.
MR. & MRS. MARK MURPHY-YRR-2-In their new sketch "The Coal Strike." Quite a good comedy act, the man carrying the comedy, the woman acting as the feeder. The entire dialogue was punctuated with hearty laughter, and the act went well. Good act. 21 mins. C.D.F. IN 3.
OTTO BROS.-GYH-3-German comedians. The singing of one of the boys is the best thing in the act. Their talk and jokes did not seem to take very well. The burlesque falsetto hit the audience hard. 12 mins. in one.
EVA WILLIAMS AND JAC. TUCKER-MRR-2-Presenting for the first time here "Skinney's Finish." On the circuit this act is well known, and their style of work needs no explanation. They received advance applause on their entrance to-day. The audience this afternoon seemed to like the quiet comedy and their work held the closest attention throughout. 21 mins. Kit. in 3.
