WASHINGTON SHOW
R.S. Robbins November 10, 1913.
JACK WARD & EDDIE WEBER: 10 min. in one. Rather a faky dancing act, in costume, and carry their own drop. Not much applause. 
RAFAYETTES DOGS: 12 min. F.S. Great dog act. Much appreciated and got splendid hand at finish. 
EDWIN GEORGE: 12 min. in one. Comedy Juggler in grotesque make-up. George is come comedian. his stuff being original and he got lot of laughs and much applause.
BISON CITY FOUR: 13 min. in one. Male Quartette in comedy make-up. Only fair singers and the comedy is of the slap stick variety. The act went well, however.
FRANK SHERIDAN: 28 min. F.S. Extraordinary, interesting and gripping act, "Blackmail". Sheridan is great in his part and the supporting company splendid. This act closed very strong.
INTERMISSION: 8 min. 
RAE ELEANOR BALL: 15 min in one. High class violinist. Striking looking woman, wearing beautiful gown. Act was thoroughly appreciated and got much applause.
BRONSON AND BALDWIN: 13 min. in one. Clever high-class singing and dancing team. Well dressed. This is a neat act and went fine. Much applause.
BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP: 27 min. F.S. Novel comedy. Scene laid in Beauty Parlor. Acted by nine women. This act is immense and was the particular hit of the bill. The act got laughs and screams, and closed very big. Work of leading lady was especially good. 
PATHE WEEKLY: 11 min. Very interesting run of pictures.
CUTS: GEORGE- "where I got my wife, don't know who's got her now".
Sheridan- "H---" and "G--".
