GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURGH, PA.     J.P. HARRIS.
February 19th, 1912.
HASTINGS & WILSON.
9 min. Special Drop. Garden. Comedy acrobats and eccentric dancers. I consider this an exceptionally good act. It has been going very good for us.
GORDON & MARX.
12 min. Street in One. German Comedians. I would consider this only a fair act and I would not care to play it very late on our bill.
WILSON & WILSON.
16 min. Olio in One. "The Messenger, The Maid and The Violin." This is a very good comedy act and just a little different from the usual man and woman, singing and talking act. I consider them good enough for No. 4 on any bill. They are really a big hit at every performance for us.
MARION LITTLEFIELD'S FLORENTINE SINGERS.
23 min. Special, full stage. Close in One. 3 min. One of the best singing acts in vaudeville, taking a number of encores at every performance. I do not think I have ever heard better voices in any vaudeville act that we have ever played.
HOWARD & NORTH.
24 min. Special drop in One. "Back in Wellington." As usual a big laughing act.
AMOROS SISTERS.
21 min. Special. Garden, full stage. Songs, dances, acrobatics and physical culture demonstrations. A big hit. This act is exceptionally well staged and dressed and entirely different from any act we have ever played.
CARL McCULLOUGH.
20 min. Olio in One. Presenting footlight Impressions. While his impressions are not good, still he is a clever entertainer and is doing exceptionally well next to closing our show.
ROCK & FULTON.
20 min. Special set. Assisted by a company of ten people and a Hungarian orchestra of four. An exceptionally large production. I cannot say much in favor of this act. So far as the dressing and production is concerned it is better than anything I have had. The work of Rock and Fulton I do not consider as good as their former acts. However, it is an act, while it pleases, I am sure it does not draw us any money.
