FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE.
WEEK AUG 21, 1911.
Mlle Olive    Pal 13 Min
Some clever juggling assisted by man in clown make up and a small boy. Does some clever tricks and makes a good opener.
Carroll & Cooke    St 1    14



pecially in N. Y.
Burnham & Greenwood    Plush 1    12 min
These two girls certainly cleaned up and proved the laughing hit of the show bringing it to a good comedy finish, for the next act hardly counted. The comedienne on the style of Florence Moore has her beaten for genuine humor.
Covington & Wilbur    F. S. EX    20 Min
This double protean act was a big disappointment and failed to get by here to any extent. Only mediocrely acted and with a plot without particular interest, it is at best an amateurish effort to do something, which however fails of accomplishment. Without comedy, and with a tragic finish it is a bad act to close a show. This however seemed the only possible position and where it would do the least harm.
Pathe Weekly. Some interesting events including Togo's visit to Mayor Gaynor.
Note. The show is a fair one, and the two big hits make one overlook some of the other acts.

Robert E Irwin Manager.
