H. A. Daniels.    CLEVELAND, OHIO.    MAY 18 '08.
MYERS & ROSA-
Man and woman. Lariat experts. Good enough for an opener. F. S. 13 min.
GEO. P. WATSON & FLORENCE LITTLE)-
Work in one. Singing sketch entitled "A Matrimonial Bargain". The talking part of the act is mostly not comedy. if they sang more and talked less the act would be improved. All right for an unimportant spot. 16 minutes. Drop in one.
SAMMY WATSON'S FARMYARD)-
Same act as he presented last trip. Always goes well. F. S. 17 min.
[?] AND THORNTON-
Two coons in a sketch entitled "Suffocated with Delightness". I cannot see where the title has anything to do with the act. The comedy pinches. One of the men is a fair piano player. Just about strong enough for this spot. Drop in one. 16 min.
SNYDER AND BUCKLEY-
These men have a new act entitled "The Street Musician." This act is not as good as their old act, is not well arranged, and lacks snap and ginger of their former offering. 25 min, close in one. They have many mechanical affects. Cut out "You Big Stiff"/
N.S. Hastings.
JOHN C. RICE and Sally Cohen.
C.D.F., Time 27. Presenting "A Bachelor's Wife." Also maid in act. A good farce, well acted, getting many laughs.
ROSIE LLOYD.
In 1, Time 22. Singing comedienne. London and Cleveland are miles apart in opinions. Rosie is very ordinary, at times very poor, and at best, not much.
THE GREAT JOSETTIS.
Time 11. 1 woman, 2 men, 3 boys. Acrobatic and risley novelties. They work fast and have a lot of brand new material. Their material is full of surprises and held the audience well.
THE KINETOGRAPH.
