REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW WEEK NOV. 3, 1913.... W.W.PROSSER GORMLEY & GAFFREY: Two men, straight and comedy []. Conventional act of its kind, but quite satisfactory as an opener. Won quire a bit of laughter nd finished strong. Garden in 5-9 min. (Cleveland) CHARLES & PANNY VAN: (Assisted by Fred C. Van) In "From Stage Carpenter to Ackter". Another of the same style of offering that Van has been showing for some time. All in all it proved a very good comedy vehicle. There were a few slow places in the act but it was generally well received. It won considerable laughter throughout and finished moderately strong. Street in 1.17 min. (Indianapolis) FLORRETINE SINGLES: This well-known singing organization is as good if not better than ever. For an act of its kind, it seems to be in a class alone. Went well throughout and finishes very strong. Special in 3 and 1, 22 min. (Toledo) EDWIN STEVENS & TINA MARSHALL: Presenting "The Troubles of R and []. Another typical Stevens conception, thoroughly in keeping with the excellent standard he has established for himself. This act offers excellent opportunity for both artists which are most advantageously used. This offering has class, style, comedy, and in fact every element to make it thoroughly high class. Went well throughout and finished strong. C. D. F. in 3, 23 minutes. (Indianapolis) DeMAREST & CHABOT: Two young men with violin, 'cello [] piano and dancing specialty. This set is away from anything that has been here for some time, and decidedly above the a eerie. The work of both the boys is exceptional. Both possess Musical ability, plenty of speed and just a touch of comedy. They went very big throughout, taking several bows. Olio in 1, 11 min. (Indianapolis) LeRoy, Talma and Basco: Two men, one woman (and several assistants) presenting a magic and illusion offering of such p[]portions as to amount to a real production. They do all sorts of work, large and small and keep things humming from beginning to end. It requires constant attention to keep track of all that is going on, While the cat does not receive a great amount of applause, it holds attention throughout and is undoubtedly something that will create a lot of talk. Finished strong. Special in 6, 22 min. (Indianapolis) MAE WEST: "America's Youngest Temperamental Comedienne". Her set consists of songs, talk and dance, She must be credited with possessing unusual individuality and style that is peculiarly her own. She is distinctly different from any single woman I have ever seen, and, although she has not yet proven a decided hit, I believe she will pick up and do better during the week. Her methods and personality are such that will be sure to attract attention of anyone with an eye for the unusual. We were advised to bill her as the "Harum-Scarum". I think this is a mistake as she is not volcanic in style and manifests no inclination to whoop things up. She is quiet in style, and the "nonchalant, Unique Artiste", would be more like my idea of billing her. She varied from 18-22 min, in time winning applause after each number and finishing moderately strong. Olio in 1. (Philadelphia) GLIDING O'MEARAS: Young man and woman in a repertoire of original society dances. This is a very clever number and the work they offer is decidedly of merit. They vent doll throughout, holding undivided attention, winning generous applause and finished strong. C.D.F. 1B S, 9 min. PATHE WENXLY: O.K.
