REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW, WEEK FEB. 2, 1914..W.W. Prosser.
HEUMAN TRIO:
Two men, one woman in a straight and comedy cycle act. Conventional of its kind, showing nothing new, but well presented. Made a satisfactory opener. Garden in 4, 15 min. (Pittsburgh)
LEE BARTH:
Presenting dialect songs and stories. Clean-cut fellow who has a good line of material which he delivers in a capable manner. Made a very good impression throughout, finishing strong. Oili in 1, 15 minutes. (Louisville)
KLEIN, ABE AND NICHOLSON:
Three men, one straight, two character, in instrumental, comedy and talking number. Got a great number of laughs and their music went very big. Strong finish. Palace in 2 close in 1, 17 minutes. (Cincinnati)
MARIA LO'S "PORCELAIN":
A posing act that is different from anything we have had here, the principal being reproduction of china and porcelain masterpieces. Seemed to thoroughly interest. Applause after each number, and a fairly strong finish. Special in 4, 12 minutes. (Cincinnati)
