CRITICISM.
FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE, NEW YORK CITY.
WEEK OF APRIL 8th, 1912.
STRENGTH BROTHERS: Extraordinary athletic feats. A splendid equilibristic number. Received big applause for every stunt. We are using this act in one, which I do not think affects their work any. Five minutes.
FIVE MELODY MAIDS AND A MAN: A musical number that is sort of a novelty. Use four upright pianos, introducing singing and dancing. All is very nicely done. Seventeen minutes, full stage.
FRED DUPREE: This man presents a very pleasing monologue, rather novel, perfectly clean and keeps the audience in good humor. Twenty-six minutes in one.
ANTIQUE GIRL: A musical comedy, presented by Jesse L. Lasky, with Fletcher Norton, Doris Wilson, Charles Pusey and Maude Earl. Well known, very interesting, splendid music and a novel presentation. Thirty-one minutes, full stage.
OLGA PETROVA: Retained the second week. This young lady received quite a lot of applause on her entrance. She is presenting the same routine as before and received bigger applause for her work than last week. Twenty-one minutes in one.
A NIGHT IN A TURKISH BATH: A comedy, presented by Joe Hart, introducing the singing comedian Robt. J. Webb. Rather a novel presentation. Secured quite a number of laughs, although did not go as strong as we would like to have it. Full stage, thirty-one minutes.
ISABELL D'ARMOND & FRANK CARTER: A little late when they made their appearance, about five o'clock. following a big novelty and comedy show with plenty of music, and they simply walked away from anything else on the bill. Open in one, go to two and close in one, seventeen minutes.
THE CLOVELLY GIRLS: Four young ladies in a club juggling exhibition, doing the regular routine of club juggling. Nothing out of the ordinary but manage to close the entertainment in fairly good shape. Full stage, ten minutes.
NOTE: R. A. Roberts. At the matinee performance, Mr. Roberts presented his dramatic sketch, "Dick Turpin", but, having a cold and slight attack of hoarseness, thought best to postpone his engagement and gave him a week later on.
