3 'THE QUARTETTE". 15 min in 1. On at 9.28. Doubtless the success of "That Quartette" has encouraged these men to go in and win some of the laurels and ducats that have rewarded the former. four. Their voices are all good and well trained, each one being a soloist and the choral work faultless in harmony. Not quite so strong as "That Quartette", but nevertheless a very fine organization and sure to please. SIX GLINSERETTIS. Acrobats. 7 min. On at 9.43. Well known on the circuit. Certainly one of the most swift and expert acrobatic acts in Vaudeville. Immense applause. Act shows European perfection of training and discipline. Whether on the straight carpet or the bounding mat, their work is equally briliant. RAYMOND CAVERLY. German Comedians and Parody Singers. "Wizards of Joy." 20 Min in 1. On at 9.50. The usual bunch of nonsense and travesties, some of which are a little bit coarse, but they all got constant laughter and applause. The burlesque on Grand Opera at the close was especially amusing. The applause came mostly from the upper part of the house. In the evening, the act was nothing short of a knock-out in this hard spot. PIANO-PHIENDS. A Swagger Musical Novelty. 20 min. F. S. On at 10.10. This act made an unqualified hit. In the excellence of the vocal and instrumental features, as well as the general appearance of being in a musical novelty of a high order. Each one of the numbers received a splendid hand. Even though the act was on twenty minutes late in the evening, it was a winner. The girls are all stunning dressers and accomplished musicians, and the young men are manly and professional in bearing, as well as capable artists. This is a great act for any Vaudeville house, bearing out my predictions when I saw it in Reading during its trial week. TRIP TO JAPAN. 10.30. KINETOGRAPH. A very beautiful and interesting series.of Oriental views. THE SIGN OF THE TIMES. A comedy film--about up to the standard of foreign films of this class. Cuts.--Baker & Jerome: Drawing attention to shape, also pointing revolver toward audience, also making mock prayer. -------Norton & Nicholson: "Throwing up lobster" and "Washing your back." -------Raymond & Caverly: Travesty--verse--Coon, Coon, Coon--also "Alice, what art thou saving?" GENERAL REMARKS: This is one of the most difficult shows to play off, being shy of features in 1 and long in big acts. It is certainly a great show, considered from an all-around Vaudeville standpoint. There was no fall-down anywhere, and the original seequence was not changed. At least nine of the acts might be termed emphatic hits and at least three are knockouts. It will draw big for the balance of the week.
