T. M. Loary .    BALTIMORE SHOW    Week, August 29th,1910

VITTORIO & Goorgetta. 10 min. F. S. An excellent opening set , and would go well even further down on the bill, their work on their hands is unique , the boxing match being especially good , and they finish well .

ZENITA- 10 min. in one. An excellent violinist , making good appearance , playing old time airs with variations , and pleasing . Does some good showy playing .

LYNCH and WESTON . 16 min. F. S. - Sketch opens well with Weston's comedy and song , and his fake wrestling match went with great laughs . Work of the two in the fainting girl part of act excellent , and finish good . 

THE GREAT TASCOTT, coon shouter , 10 min. in one. avo several songe with good dialect , and pleased upper part of house especially . 
THE DEVIL , THE SERVANT ,& THE MAN .20 min. F. S. A serious sketch based on a clubman's dream , introducing The Devil and The Servant from "The Devil" and "The Servant in the House" .Three men , all excellent actors who play the offering well . Should be good where the two plays have been seen and the central idea can be appreciated . Might be a little serious for some audiences, but appeared to please boxes and orchestra especially and caused some comment there .

JOHNNIE STANLEY & RUBY NORTON. 18 min. in one . Placed directly after intermission, goes at first with a scream. Stanley works in audience through intermission as a water boy , and managed to got attention at once on opening . Good comedy act , and both work fast . Songs went well . 

NORA BAYES and JACK NORWORTH . F. S. Worked 45 min . at matinee and 46 at night , and had to decline encores. Carry own pianist and drops, and have entire act splendidly framed . Open with imitation of old time minstrel show , singing old songs in their own wayh. Change to work-in one and Norworth's song, "[Months?]" with local verses , was strong . Miss Bayes was inimitable . Act closed very strong with [repeated?] calls for "Kelly" , and she sang one verse in French . Splendid feature , and very strong here . 

THE CAMILLE TRIO. 8 min. F. S. Typical knockabout comedy acrobatic act , that works very quick . Horizontal bar set , with trick bars , and the falls of all three men are good . Went big as a closing set .
