GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURGH, PA.
JOHN P. HARRIS.
FEBRUARY 3rd, 1913.
LA VIER.
Full stage. Garden. 5 minutes. Trapeze performers. A very ordinary act that does very well to open the show.
DE FAYE SISTERS.
Olio. 10 min. Brinkly Banjo Girls. These two girls were neatly dressed. The banjo playing and dancing is just about strong enough to hold No. 2 on our bill.
ED. F. REYNARD.
Full stage. Special. 16 minutes. Ventriloquist. About the same act that he has always given us. This act is a real production and always gets and hand on the opening. He did very well.
WHITE & PERRY.
Olio. 12 minutes. "Smiling Singers of Smiling Songs." Man and Woman, well dressed, good songs and good singers. Received very well.
RICE & COHEN.
Open full stage, close in one. 24 minutes. "The Path of the Primroses." I think that this is one of the best acts that this couple has ever had. They are a big hit.
KAUFMAN BROS.
Olio in one. 12 minutes. In Tuneful Originalities. A blackface singing and talking act that does well for us.
SIX KIRKSMITH SISTERS.
Full stage, close in one. 19 min. These young ladies sing and play very well and I consider this a very excellent act. They are a big hit.
NAT M. WILLS.
Olio. "The Happy Tramp." Mr. Wills did 30 minutes and was really a big hit. It is the first time that Mr. Wills has played for us that we have not been compelled to eliminate something from his act, and he was a bigger hit during this engagement than he ever was before.
DAVIS FAMILY.
Full stage. 12 minutes. Acrobats. This family of acrobats is far above the average. They are closing our show and a very big hit.
KINEMACOLOR.
