-2- Catherine Nelson and Elizabeth Otto. On at 3.22, 21 minutes, full stage. Miss Nelson is a clever comedienne while Miss Otto is an extremely good pianist, as good as any vaudeville has ever had. Their act is on the style of Green and Franklin, Miss Nelson singing three songs and making three changes, while Miss Otto plays for her and also plays two capital selections, while Miss Nelson is dressing. I think this act has the makings of a most acceptable offering. Two of Miss Nelson's songs are thoroughly all right, the other she will change. Miss Otto is simply great. The act is beautifully dressed. Everything considered it seems to me $200 is a fair price. It will surely improve with playing. XX1 Wynn and Lewis. On at 3.42, 19 minutes in one. It is about a year ago that this act played what was practically its first vaudeville engagement in this theatre, I having seen it originally with a burlesque show. Its success since then is well known, and it seems a pity that this is the last week these two boys are to play together. The straight man is to take a new partner and do the act under the same name, while I understand the comedian is to head a girl act. The new Wynn and Lewis team plays its first engagement at Newport next week. Scored its usual hit this afternoon. XX1 Romany Opera Co. On at 4.02, 33 minutes. 3rd week of their engagement singing gems from "Martha." By far the best Monday afternoon's performance they have given us. Misses Quinn and Tileri, Messrs Cilla and Campana all being in the cast. I am free to state that this engagement has not been the success that was anticipated, the changing of the opera each week not being thoroughly satisfactory. Next week, the last of their engagement, they are to give an elaboration of their act of last season which gives so much satisfaction everywhere. I hope to be able to tell a pleasanter tale. XX1 Kinetograph. On at 4.35. "Japanese Butterflies," a pretty colored film. "In Brazil," an interesting travel picture. "A Magnetic Removal," one of the best comedy films we have had in some time, held over from last week. Comment. A thoroughly satisfactory summer show. The revised running order is as follows;-- Overture, Zano, Larose and Lagusta, Leon Gorodetzky, Romany Opera Co., Sullivan-Pasquelena Co., St. Onge Co., Nelson and Otto, Wynn and Lewis, Cartmell and Harris, 5 Piroscoffis and the Kinetograph.
