KEITH & PROCTOR'S 125TH STREET THEATRE CRITICISM (Cont'd)
SAGER MIDGLEY & GERTRUDE CARLISLE
In their rural character comedy sketch, entitled, "After School". It is the same Sager and the same Gertie that we played years ago with the same line of talk and the same singing  I do not think they have changed a line. However, they were accorded good applause on their entrance and scored many laughs. Twenty-six Minutes Full Stage, Four Minutes in One.
EUGENE JEPSON & CO.
Two men and two women. Presenting the comedy "The Mayor and the Manicure". Pretty fair sketch. Description given in previous criticism. Lines are rather bright and secure laughs in spots. Finished rather tame. Seventeen Minutes Full Stage.
TRIXIE FRIGANZA
Trixie has developed into quite a comedienne. Has quite a good line of material and had the audience laughing continually with her monologue. Sang three songs all of which pleased and left them wanting more. Twenty Minutes in One.
FRED KARNO COMPANY
"A NIGHT IN THE SLUMS OF LONDON"
Considering that they presented this same comedy crosstown some few weeks ago they did fairly well here this afternoon. Received the laughs and certainly made an excellent closing feature. Twenty-five Minutes Full Stage.
KINETOGRAPH  CUPID'S PRANKS  Fair  Photographically bad.
