125TH STREET THEATRE CRITICISM E. F. ROGERS MARTIN BROS. Well known. Received some little applause after each of their selections. Have advanced about one point as they use pistol shots the same as the four Avolos and special light effects which give them a pretty good finish. 12 minutes in one. JANE ELTON & CO. In a comedy sketch, "The Trial Performance". This act contains more singing and dancing than comedy. It is nothing to rave over All right for an early place. Jane Elton received several good laughs for her eccentric character work. The girls have good voices and make an elegant appearance and are nicely costumed. 17 Min full stage & 3 minutes in one. Gus Edward's BLONDE TYPEWRITERS with JOHNNY STANLEY Scene represents an office with the girls playing on typewriters singing appropriate music etc. Johnny Stanley is well known and is assisted by the girls. He gives his various imitations throughout the sketch. The girls are pretty and nicely costumed. The music is all new with the exception of Gus Edward's best bet "School Days". The act needs plenty of work and may develope. They did fairly well this afternoon. MARCO TWINS Well known. This act brought the first strong laugh of the day. while they did not go as strong as before I presume they were appreciated. 7 minutes full stage. This act is a sort of a "Lemon". The man makes a speech. Carlotta does a few ancient bicycle tricks and then comes the "Loop the Loop" stunt which makes them gasp for a second and it is all over and then you wonder what you saw and exclaim again "Stung". I doubt if this act is worth the money at any time. 12 minutes full stage. PICTURES WASHING BADLY MARKED fairly SALMON FISHING fair CLOWN DOCTOR fair
