Report Columbus Show Week Sept. 9, 1912--W.W. Prosser.

Stickney's Circus:
Man, woman, ponies and dogs.  Novelty animal offering.  Made good opener, holing attention and finishing moderately strong.  Terrace in five, 10 minutes. (Cleveland.)

Harry Breen:
"The Impromptu Rhymster".  Did not make much of an impression.  Got along fairly well toward the end and finished moderately strong.  Olio in one, 10min. (Akron and Youngstown)

J. Hunter Wilson & Effie Pearson:
Songs and talk, "At the Reception".  Good number of its kind, but failed, for some reason, to score.  No finish at all.  Special in 1 1/2, 14 minutes. (Open)

Roehm's Athletic Girls:
Fencing, boxing, bag-punching etc.  Good enough act, but not very well received.  Some scattered applause, and a fairly good finish.  Special in four, 11 minutes. (Toledo)

Kenny, Nobody & Platt:
Song and talk.  Blackface.  This act started the show, going big throughout and finishing strong.  Genuine hit.  Street in one, 15 minutes. (New York)

Detective Keen:
Four men, one woman. A fine dramatic sketch, capably presented.  Held undivided attention throughout.  Strong finish. C.D.F. in three, 18 minutes. (Brooklyn)

Lyons & Yosco:
"Italian Street Musicians".  A decided hit.  Liberal applause after each number.  Thoroughly liked.  Strong finish.  Street in one, 17 minutes.  (Open)

Five Martells:
Cycle Troupe.  Very good.  Well received throughout.  Finished strong.  Garden in five, 11 minutes.  (Syracuse)
