CRITICISM OF 1ST SHOW.
PHILADELPHIA
SEPT. 22ND.
Stereopticon - 3 shows-9 mins.-Sheet-As usual, interesting.
Mills & Beecher-3 shows-16 mins.-c.d.-Fair act; clean, but without merit.
Mortimer Bassett-3 shows-12 min.-Fancy in one-Very good; better than the average act of the kind, as it is truer to nature.
Daly & Devers-3 shows-17 mins.-C. D.-Just good. Cut out: Showing so much drawers, and "To hell with your husband."
Marshall & Lane-3 shows-14 mins.-C. D.; close in one-Good. Limitations, only fair after hearing Bassett.
Yacklay & Bunnell-3 shows-20 mins,-C. D.; close in one-Very good. They have some novel instruments and ideas.
Wood and Wood-6 mins.-3 shows-garden in four-Very meritorious muscular act.
Tom Moore-3 shows-16 mins.-Fancy in one-Big hit; three encores; best singer of coon songs, outside of Hogan.
Ten Ichi and His Troupe-3 shows-27 mins.-Own set-The biggest novelty since Ching Ling Foo; audience highly pleased.
Albert L. Guills-2 shows-7 mins.-Fancy in one-Good, but not appreciated by this audience.
Cressy & Dayne-2 shows-26 mins.-Own set-A great big hit; but this act not better than its predecessors.
Stuart Barnes-2 shows-19 mins.-Fancy in one-Very good; best act he ever did; big favorite with the audience.
