REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR THE WEEK OF NOV. 21, 1910.
W. W. Prosser.
LES NAVAS: Two men who present an interesting and meritorious line of work as trapeze equilibrists. Make a good appearance and introduce a number of tricks that won applause. Held attention all the way through and had a moderately strong finish. 12 minutes, terrace in 4.
THE DOLCE SISTERS: Three nice appearing girls, well dressed, and in every way pleasing. Introduce a number of songs and all of them very effectively. A good round of applause on the first song, and from that on came stronger and stronger.until the finish when they were compelled to take quite a number of bows. They could have, in fact given another number very nicely. Perfectly satisfactory. 15 minutes, olio in One.
WALSH, LYNCH & CO.: In a melodramatic comedy, "Huckins' Run". Characters: Billy Butts, an East Side boy, Thankful Slocum, an Orphan, the Village Postmaster and Town Constable, both of the last named characters impersonated by the same man. The act is quite a good one, with a good story, there are a number of good solid laughs, the interest at no time lage, and the finish was strong. A special set added considerable to the merit of the piece. A substantial success. 25 minutes, special set in 4.
CLIFFORD WALKER: English musical monologist. Mr. Walker is a thorough artist of a very high class. His work consists of recitations, impersonations without make-up, and a pianologue song. Very quiet in his method, extremely genteel and refined, and the kind of an entertainer that will surely have no trouble in getting into the good graces of any intelligent audience. His work went exceedingly well all the way through and he is indeed a credit to the bill. Finsihed strong. 17 minutes, olio in One.
"MAID OF MYSTERY": This well known act by no means created a riot but it gained the undivided attention of the audience all the way through and seemed to be an offering of decided interest. The finish was but moderately strong, but I believe the act will create talk. No fault to find. Special set in 4, 10 minutes.
HOEY & LEE: Hebrew comedians, appearing this time as policemen. Have a very rapid run of cross fire talk that kept the audience laughing most of the time. Their parodies for a finish went very big and they were compelled to take numbrous bows at the finish. Street in One, 13 minutes.
THE FOUR HUNTINGS: A genuine joy-riot. Laughs galore and without number. A-1 performance and a strong finish. 27 minutes, C. D. F. in 3.
STRENGTH BROS.: An exceptionally clever pair of novelty acrobatic equilibrists. They present a lot of hand and head balancing stunts that are decidedly worth while. Almost every trick they offered won applause. Held the audience to the finish without the slightest trouble and finished strong. 7 minutes, palace in 2.
MOVING PICTURE:  O. K.
