WASHINGTON SHOW R. S. Robbins January 5, 1914. SAM BARTON: 12 min. F.S. Special drop. Tramp comedy & trick bicyclist. The comedy good and the act goes very well. All. Grant & Ethel Hoag 19 min. in one. Special drop. Chatter, song and imitations. Grant works hard, and act goes fairly well. LIBONATI: 15 min. in one. Xylophone Virtuoso. Popular selections rendered very cleverly. Libonati a showman, holds his audience from the start. Gets a big hand after each selection. This act makes quite a hit. Gets from 8 to ten curtain calls. IDA BROOKS HUNT & CO. 22 min. F.S. "The Singing Countess" - A tabloid comic opera with good music and fairly interesting story and comedy. Miss Hunt a beautiful woman with an excellent voice. Sings "My Hero" for an encore and scores heavily. HENRY LEWIS 19 min. in one. Special drop. German Comedian. Novel monologue with original songs and parodies. Goes big. INTERMISSION: KATHLEEN CLIFFORD 15 min. F.S. Beautiful special drop. Singing, dancing and impersonations, with novelty of changing costumes in view of audience, behind screen drop. Miss Clifford clever, with charming personality, and has a very classy act. Made a hit. VICTOR MOORE & CO. 28 min. F.S. Mr. Moore's old act elaborated - "Change your Act Or Back To The Woods" - Keeps the audience screaming. Mr. Moore and Miss Littlefield great. A big hit. (Closes in one) RAMSDELL TRIO: 10 min. F.S. Man and two girls in well arranged suite of dances The man especially good on his toes, and the girls good all around dances. All three beautifully costumed. The act closed the show satisfactorily, getting a good hand. PATHE WEEKLY 13 min. Only fairly good pictures this week/ General Remarks Many of our patrons regard this the best show of the seasons. Cuts: Grant & Hoag: "reference to Mrs. Pankhurst. Lines: about being arrested for using field glasses on fire escape. Business of looking in window and remarking "they are not up yet, and I have another story but they wont let me tell it". Henry Lewis: "Mrs. Pankhurst posing as September Morn" - "grab me by my rum-tum, etc." reference to cock-eyes in monologue. Story about "chickens" being plentiful. Word "hell" in opening line. of act.
