MARYLAND THEATRE REPORT
Baltimore, Week Jan. 2, 1911.
MAXIMO
10 minutes full stage. A very good wire performer.
KESSLER & LEE
12 minutes in one. Two nice looking boys that do a good novelty dancing act.
BLOOMQUEST PLAYERS IN "NERVE"
20 minutes full stage. A good farce, well played.
SYMTHE & HARTMAN
16 minutes in one. Man and woman, singing and talking act. Held the spot alright.
LASKY'S "ON THE HOUSE TOP
25 minutes full stage. Own set. A tabloid musical comedy act, fairly well dressed and using attractive setting. Erickson's comedy work saved it from being a failure.
VILMOS WESTONY
18 minutes in one. This freak piano player gets a good deal of applause, but he is not a hit by any means. Considering the salary paid him, it is no wonder that Trovato and a few others are kicking. Would be well paid at one half the money he is getting.
LILLIAN GRANT
18 minutes in one. The one and only genuine hit of the show, singing six songs and forced to make two speeches to get away.
LA ROSE MARGUERITE
12 minutes full stage. Beautiful white horse, cute black pony, sleepy looking wolf hound and homely looking woman. Just a fair equestrian act.
KINETOGRAPH  O. K.
Note: Our New Year troubles started in great. Maximo's paraphenalia arrived here at 3:15 o'clock; Kessler of Kessler & Lee at 2:40; Hartman of Smythe & Hartman at 2:40; Kessler and Lee's baggage at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning; and one of the girls of the Lasky act arrived in time for the night show.
