Page 101a

THE WILLIAMS AND WALKER GLEE CLUB. 21 min. Full Stage. close in one. Fifteen excellent singers who have a varied and interesting program and are well drilled. Strong applause after each selection. Made a bigger hit than on the occasion of their last visit. Closed strong.
WHITE AND STUART. 32 min. Full Stage. Second time this act has been played here, and it went just as big as on the former occasion, if not even better received. Runs smoothly and  contains a great many brilliant lines out of which both White and Stuart know how to get the laugh. Close strong as ever. A great sketch for any vaudeville house.
KINETOGRAPH. I. An Amateur Acrobat. Fairly good comedy.
II. Clog Making in Brittany. An interesting travel film.
III. The Music Teacher. A fairly good comedy film. Kinetograph features this week just about fill the bill.
HARVEY & DE VORO. 12 min. in one. This is a very good singing and dancing act, the dancing being exceptional. Man works straight, De Voro in two changes of soubrette costume and making quite a pretty figure. Introduces a little pickininny who does some wooden-shoe dancing in costume of a hotel porter. Got a good hand, particularly that of the little pick.
BARR & EVANS. 24 min. Full Stage. One of the very old vaudeville acts; well known reminiscent of the old time variety. Fair applause.
REMARKS. This is an entertaining show without a dull moment from start to finish. There were two or three distinct hits, such as Ralph Smalley, White and Stuart and the Glee Club, and every return act has improved very much since the last appearance here. This is always encouraging. A bill like this ought to pull big business.
