REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW, WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 11th., 1911 --- W.W. PROSSER. CORRIGAN AND VIVIAN:--- Man and woman in sharp shooting number which ran along well for an opener, winning applause at various points and finishing moderately strong. Terrace in 3, 13 minutes. SAMPSON & DOUGLAS:- Man and woman in potpourri of singing, talking and comedy. A novel entrance is that of the woman, she being hauled on, inside a large basket, making her appearance therefrom at the proper time. Later she re-enters the basket and again emerges from same after making a complete change of costume. Some of the talk is bright and gets over in good shape, while other parts of it are somewhat tiresome. The singing is the most energetic and best part of the number. The finale rounded them out in good shape and scored a strong finish, giving them several bows. Street in 1, 10 minutes. TOM EDWARDS:-- This excellent English ventriloquist scored a very decided hit. He was given as close attention as would be accorded a sketch. His various points evoked much laughter. Applause was liberally bestowed. The finish of the act was unquestionably favorable. Center door fancy in 3, 21 minutes. SULLY & HUSSEY:- Two young men, one appearing as a huntsman, and the other as a Hebrew. It looks as if they had been close students of the Howard Brothers. Many of their quips and bits of business strongly suggested the team named. They get along pretty well throughout, finishing fairly well. Their encore was the best liked portion of the act. Street in 1, 13 minutes. JOE HART'S "DINKELSPEIL'S CHRISTMAS":- This is the first showing of this well-known act, here. Individually and collectively the work of the performers was satisfactory and the offering was a distinct success. The story held undivided attention and must be credited with achieving a genuine success. There were laughs at the proper places, and, all in all, the performance was all that could be desired. The finish was strong. Plain chamber in 3, 21 minutes. MAX HART'S SIX STYLISH STEPPERS:-- One of the best dancing acts that ever appeared in this house. Easily the applause hit of the show. The individual and ensemble met with emphatic favor. The act was punctured with generous applause. The finish is strong. Olio in 1, 13 min. CLEMENSO BROTHERS:-- Novelty European Acrobatic act. Both assume protest comedy roles. The principal part of the number is devoted to making of melodies on freak musical instruments. There is just a dash of acrobatic work. All and all, the act is different and it seemed to make a very favorable impression. Finished strong. Garden in 2 1/2, 10 minutes. MOVING PICTURES: O.K. NOTICE:- BROWN, HARRIS AND BROWN were unable to appear, owing to the loss of all their baggage. We will have them on all right, tonight.
