[Notes at top of page are folded back and are not legible.] 3. FERGUSON & WATSON, Comedians:- 14 min. in 1. 3 shows. These people do a little singing and some talking, which may be regarded only fair. Neither has the personality to make him popular. Closed with a weak hand. GENERAL REMARKS;-The bill as a whole would be below the average were it not for the sensational GLOBE OF DEATH feature. It is fairly good in comedy, but lacking in varied interest, although it cannot be said that there is any very weak spot. There should have been one or two still higher class acts to pull the bill up to a higher degree of brilliancy. However, it will do very well with the public, considering the fact that the GLOBE OF DEATH is the most exciting thing of the kind ever seen here. The man really takes his life in his hands every time he does the act, and the audience understands this fact only too plainly.
