REPORT OF COLONIAL, LAWRENCE, WEEK OF OCTOBER 10, 1910.
Inge and Farrell - in their refined singing act, very neat act making two changes of costume. Went very good. 13 min. in one and a half.
Gus Williams - German comedian, songs and story. Good line of stuff, took very well. 17 min. in one.
Bellclaire Bros - in remarkable tests of endurance and hand to hand balancing. A great act of its kind, one of the best we hav had. Open in one, own plush drop, close in three with spring board jump which took the house by storm. 10 min.
Wright and Dietrich - a very pretty singing act, both having very fine voices and a good selection of songs. Went very good. 10 min. in one.
Hal Davis and Inez Macauley - in Will Cressy's sketch "One Christmas Eve" a comedy sketch with some very funny situations, got them from the start and went very good all the way through. 21 min. full stage.
Cook and Stevens - the Negro and the Chinaman - two colored men in a talking and singing act, one made up as a Chinaman. Good material and held this spot well. 16 min. in one.
Herzog's Horses - A great Animal Act. Eight horses in a thirty-five foot ring, one of the horses doing a dancing step to music which made a big hit, rest of act equally good with different high school acting that they are put through. Went big. 20 min. full stage.
