CLEVELAND, O.
NED S. HASTINGS.     NOV. 30, 1908.
TERLEY
Man and woman. Time 8. Palace in 4. A living "bust" is shown in a cabinet, much like the "living heads" of the side show magicians. The woman, in role of an artist, pretends to model the bust and makes a series of representations of well known men. A novel way of working an old idea. Went well.
PAULINE COOK & MAY CLINTON.
Palace in [3?]. Time, 15. The young women do some attractive "straight" and fancy shooting from difficult position. There is little noise, not much more than that of a cap-pistol and no smoke. They finish by playing a xylophone by shooting at it in rapid alternation. The act proved very interesting.
Dan QUINLAN and KELLER MACK.
In 1, special back drop. Time 10. Talking and singing in character, one black face, one as fakir dentist. A fair act with, with a lot of old jokes.
FLORENCE GALE & CO.
C.D.F., some special and good "props." Playing "The Girl Who Dared" Time 24. 3 men, 1 woman. The act is well dressed, and well acted, with a good many laughs. Nothing so very strong though, and applause just about the average.
MISS IDA O'DAY.
Time 11. In 1. Very attractive and dainty. Sings a couple of songs with very sweet voice. Hit. Finishes with excellent banjo playing. Went very strong.
EMMETT CORRIGAN & CO.
Open in 2, change to F.S. woods. Time 28. 4 men, 1 boy. Playing "His Last Performance." One of the biggest hits ever scored at a Monday matinee here. The applause had a lot of ginger and was persistent. Mr Corrigan is ably supported by talented players and his sketch is admirably balanced with comedy and pathos. There are moment when the action is reminiscent, but for the most part it is unique and brilliant in conception.
ALICE LLOYD.
In 2 and 2 1/2. Time 26. Sings six songs. Wonderful, that's all. Had 'em going all the time. Had to make curtain speech to excuse herself from singing more songs.
WILLS & HASSAN.
2 men. Time 10. F.S. In spite of following Lloyd, for whom the people had waited, these two clever equilibrists held the audience in their seats well. They work neatly, quickly and offered several original tricks. One of the best equilibristic duos I have ever seen.
THE KINETOGRAPH.
