GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURGH, PA. [PENNSYLVANIA] J.P. HARRIS.
SEPTEMBER 30th, 1912

FERRELL BROS. Comedy Bicycle. 9 minutes. Garden. A fair opening act.

HARRY BREEN. 16 minutes. Street in one. "The Singing Comedian." In my opinion, this is a very bad act. I am sure that we would never care to play him again.

GORDON HIGHLANDERS. 14 minutes. Close in one. Instrumentalists, Vocalists, Pipers and Dancers. This is a very good act and was a very big hit.

SIDNEY DREW & CO. Interior. 17 minutes.
"When Two Hearts are Won." This is one of Mr. Drew's old sketches and he went very well. However, the act is not near so good as when Mrs. Drew played with him.

JOSIE HEATHER. English Comedian. 18 minutes. Olio in one. Miss Heather is a very neat dresser. Her first two songs did not go over very well. Her last song is really a hit. Her salary is entirely too high. I would consider $200. a good price for this act.

DARING DARTS. Garden. 19 minutes. Sensational aerial novelty. This act is a novelty, and while it is doing well in the middle of our bill, I'm sure they would do much better to open the show.

WATONS & SANTOS. A polite Singing & Dancing Team. 12 min. Olio. The dressing of this act is far above the average. They are both clever singers and very neat. The act as a whole is a big hit.

MCINTYRE & HEATH. 40 minutes. "The Georgia Minstrels." Just as big a hit as they have ever been for us. They were one 40 minutes' laugh.

MOVING PICTURES. Pathe's Weekly Review.
