(125th St. Theatre Criticism-Page 2) AVON COMEDY FOUR: This act has been changed around considerably. The various members playing new parts with one new man. While I don't think it is as good as the old act, it certainly had them laughing all the time they were on and finished to big applause. Compelled to encore several times and took three bows. They were easily the applause hit of the show up to this time. 23 min.-full stage-closed in one about 4 min WM. J. KELLEY & CO: In the condensed version of "David Garrick." Company includes six men and three women. Got the biggest reception of any man I ever saw in my life. He gave an excellent presentation of "David Garrick" including the drunken scene. Audience giggled and laughed at everything he did. Received several curtain calls on his finish. 34 min. LEONA THURBER & HER BLACK BERRIES: Only need to say that this is one of the best "pick" acts in the profession. They held their own in this very hard place and got as many laughs as any other act in the show. 12 min ROSAIRE & DORETO: Acrobatic comedy. Well know. Excellent closing act. Received the usual number of laughs with quite a big lot of applause on the finish. 10 min KINETOGRAPH: "The Yawner" Good comedy "The Last Ride" Good comedy
