REPORT OF THE COLINIAL THEATRE, Week of FEBRUARY 5th, 1912.
JOHN F. ADAMS, Critic.

HUGH LLOYD & CO. Novelty Bounding Rope act.
Best work I have ever seen. Balancing on a rope without a Balance Pole. Went very big. 11 min. Full stage.

QUINN & GALLAGHER, The Singer and Pianist.
A very neat singing and piano act which could go further down on the Bill. Went good. 12 minutes. In one.

MYLES MCCARTHY & CO. Comedy sketch-"A YELLOW STREAK."
Three people. A good comedy which gets a lot of laughs all the way through. 21 minutes. Full stage.

EVANS LLOYD AND GRACE WHITEHOUSE--in a comedy singing and talking act.
While to me this act has a lot of merit to it and their material is original, they did not seem to make good with my audience and can say they were received only fair. 15 minutes. Full stage-- Close 4 minutes in one.

CHICK SALE--Comedy Protean Entertainer in his Conception of "A COUNTRY SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT." Sales' impersonations of six different characters great, changes of character very quick work. Got audience from the start and made a hit. 15 min. In one. Own drop.

MUSICAL GORDON HIGHLANDERS-Scotland's Premier Entertainers. This was the best of any of its kind we have ever had. They do a lot of work on a variety of instruments besides the Bag-pipes; also some good solo work and dancing. The act made a hit in fact so much that I had them fourth on the Bill for afternoon and had to move them down to closing for night show. 15 minutes. Full stage.

MOTION PICTURES. O.K.
