(2) Cressy & Dayne; On at 3.16, 25 min. full stage. They are presenting what I consider one of the best things Mr. Cressy has ever written, "Grasping an Opportunity". This is certainly one of the most entertaining teams in vaudeville, but it seems a pity that this is to be their last season with us. Matthews & Ashley; On at 3.41, 16 min, full stage. These boys did well, as they always do, in a very hard place in the bill, for it takes an act of exceptional merit to follow Cressy & Dayne. While the general character of their act is not very much changed, they have several new songs and parodies. Col. Bordeverry; On at 3.57, 18 min, full stage. The greatest of all shooting acts, to my mind. While it does not create tremendous applause, it certainly makes people talk, and that counts. Berzac's Circus; On at 4.15, 12 min, full stage. Remarks concerning this act are superfluous. The finish is simply a riot in this house. Note: The Bordeverry and Berzac acts are set in our circus scene, the "clear" after Bordeverry and Berzac's "set" being made in sight of the audience. The Kinetograph; On at 4.27, 20 min. Films this week are, The Pigeon Ferry, a fairly good "trick" picture, The Hand of the Artist, another of the same class, but with some considerable comedy, New York Athletic Club games, several interesting pictures, and A Voyage Around a Star, another of the "trick" pictures that makes quite a lot of merriment. The Lucados; On at 4.47, 10 min, full stage. A very good 3-a-day side act. The man's juggling of heavy objects is excellent. Good for an early spot at all times. Stereopticon; On at 4.57; Scenes in Sweden, 12 min. this week. Comment: A very pleasing show, one of exceptional strength. It blends well, and seems to give great satisfaction. Cuts: Marshall & Lorraine; wiping nose on board; use of a very dark-colored handkerchief. The woman was instructed too keep her skirts down, and not indulge in so much "high action" with her legs. Jack Gardner; Replace "Cascarets" in one of his songs with some other word.
