REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK DECEMBER 27, 1909.
W. W. PROSSER.
REBERT DE MONT TRIO: Two young men, one young woman in a novelty acrobatic act, "Hotel Turnover". A very excellent act in which the work of the three performers is very interesting and very capably performed. The act made a distinct hit, receiving applause all the way through and finishing very strong. 8 minutes, D. C. D.
BROOKS & JEANETTE:  Man and woman in a comedy singing, talking and dancing act. None of their stuff went very well at either the afternoon or evening performances, and they just about got by. There was no demonstration of approval at the finish, although they won some laughs during the presentation of the act. 16 minutes, street in 1.
TOM EDWARDS:  Same efficient ventriloquist as of yore. Held the attention of the audience all the way through and finished strong. 28 minutes, C. D. F.
MOVING PICTURE TO SET FOR:

EDWARDS DAVIS & CO.: In "A Picture of Dorian Gray", high class dramatic sketch by Oscar Wilde. This act is provided with a very elaborate and beautiful setting which in itself at the rise of the curtain received a round of applause. The story of the piece is involved, and I believe that while it gained the attention of the audience it went over the heads of the major portion thereof. The work of the three players interpreting the piece was excellent and the act finished moderately strong. Special set in 4, 25 minutes.
NELLA BERGEN: This well known prima donna got along very nicely but did not prove a big hit at either the afternoon or night performance. She is the possessor of an unusually good voice and her gowns are exceedingly tasteful and pretty. She got along very nicely, however, and proved thoroughly acceptable. 15 minutes, olio in 1.
MR. & MRS. MARK MURPHY: In "Clancy's Ghost". This popular Hibernian duo hadn't any trouble at all in making themselves the laughing hit of the show, their act being almost a continuous scream from beginning to end. 22 minutes, C. D. F., close in 1.
THE MANGEAN TROUPE: Six exceedingly clever acrobats, four men, two women. There is a lot of style and finish to their feats, each and all of which are performed with the greatest dexterity. One woman in particular borders on the marvelous. The act went well all the way through and finished strong. 8 minutes, palace set in 5.
MOVING PICTURES: O. K.
