Report on Columbus Show Week March 9th. -- 1908. -- W. W. Prosser.
THE BOB & TIP CO. -- Two women, acrobats, and two or three dogs. -- Really a comedy bar and ring act. -- Very good, its only fault being that it is a trifle long drawn out and can be condensed to advantage. For an opener it went unusually well and finished strong. -- I am going to boost it to catch the children Saturday and it will please them. Landscape 18 minutes.
JOE FLYNN: Eccentric monologue comedian. -- It looked bad for him early in the game but he finally got them coming and got away much stronger than I looked for. -- After getting things in running order he extracted a great number of laughs and proved satisfactory. 17 minutes Stree in one.
BILL & WHITAKER: Man and woman in a singing and instrumental musical act of far more than ordinary merit. -- It has a classy appearance and they like this kind of act here. -- Singing, harp playing, and banjo work make up the music introduced. -- The woman has a contralto voice which she used to the best possible advantage and the act throughout was a distinct hit. -- They will meet with favor without a doubt throughout the week. C. D. F. 14 minutes.
EDWARD CLARK & WIDOWS: A well known act and one that thoroghly made good in every respect. -- it was a success from beginning to end. Special set 27 minutes. in 5.
MR. & MRS. MARK MURPHY in the Coal Strike. -- A comedy sketch and a good one. -- Murphy had them laughing almost all of the time and his wife rendered him admirable assisiance. -- No fault could be found with this offering. C. D. F. 26 minutes.
BESSIE WYNN: Also well known and remembered here from last season. Got a reception on her entrance and held them for 23 minutes. An unqualified success. -- She will draw especially form the better class of patrons.
DUFFIN ) REDCAY TROUPE: The well known casting act. -- It made good in every respect and finished strong. 10 minutes garden.
