New York Criticism continued. Sallie Stembler "Character Singing Comedienne" Good selections, voice elegant. She held her own and received a big lot of applause. Ten minutes in one, two shows. Miss Maud Harrison and Company. The company consists of Miss Harrison, Richard Allen, and W.J.Phinney, presenting the comedy "The Lady Across the Hall" The sketch if thoroughly alright, except in one of two places, which are rather tame, thereby losing interest. Miss Harrison is good, but her personality is bad. The leading man, Richard Allen is not worth thirty cents. Phinney is good. If Miss Harrison had better support, the act would be a winner. Twenty one minutes, full stage, two shows. Bedini & Arthur Comedy Jugglers. Received a big lot of laughs. The new business of Arthur shooting the target is a scream. The burlesque on "Dida" did not go, will take it off as we would prefer to have them close in one. Seventeen minutes, full stage, two shows. Donahue and Nichols Man and Woman, eccentric dancers, with a little singing. They are clever dancers and hard workers, but they failed to make good in this spot, just a little too hard running down here for them. Twelve minutes, full stage, close in one about two minutes, two shows. Four Livingstons One man and three women. Acrobats. Hard workers, but they failed to make good in this spot.
