CROUCH & WELCH: Young man and woman in a novelty acrobatic act that proved to be a very successful opener and thoroughly pleased the house. Finished very well. 13 minutes, C. D. F.
ED MORTON: Singer of songs. Mr. Morton possesses a very pleasing personality and all of his numbers were very well received. He gave us 15 minutes of exceedingly good entertainment and finished strong. 15 minutes, olio in one.
MARY NORMAN: Presenting "Some Women I Have Met". Miss Norman was a decided hit all the way through, and her various take-offs on the feminine sex were received with shouts of laughter and unstinted applause. Would term her a very decided hit. 11 minutes, palace in 2.
MULLEN & CORELLI: This well known acrobatic duo made their customary hit here and there was not a dull moment  during the time the occupied the stage. Finished strong. 11 minutes, street in one.
BEATRICE INGRAM & CO.: In the slang comedy sketch, "The Duchess". A decidedly meritorious offering in which the star and her company appeared to the very best advantage. There was liberal laughter at the comedy, and the pathos won sure fire and rang true. The act gained the closest attention and must be voted an unqualified success. Finished strong. Kitchen in 3, 19 minutes.
LYONS & YOCCO: This well known pair had not the slightest trouble in entertaining the house from the moment they came upon the stage to the finish of their act. They were accorded a reception upon their entrance and each and every one of their numbers went excellently. Finished strong. 19 minutes, street in one.
REX COMEDY CIRCUS: This act introduces a number of trained ponies, dogs and cats, and finished with a trained comedy mule. The attempts of the "plants" from the audience to ride the mule, and also to remain on their feet on the revolving table, proved a veritable howl, and I never knew of an audience laughing harder or seeming to enjoy more, anything, than they did this portion. The entire act, in fact, is satisfactory and proved to be an excellent closer. 13 minutes, landscape in 5.
MOVING PICTURES: O. K.
