CRITICISM. (2)
THE GREAT BERNARDI
This man was evidently forgotten, for he was treated as a "newcomer" and given the utmost attention. His comedietta, called, "The Surprise", in which he shows how the changes are made, was the novelty of the bill. He had the house, wondering and applauding. Twenty-three minutes, full stage.

CRAGE CAMERON
I'm afraid Madge Maitland takes the edge off Miss Cameron and if we were to change positions, it would be an even break. Miss Cameron gives us five very good numbers, including a "kid" song and each selection goes over in fairly good shape. She seems to be appreciated. Seventeen minutes in one.

MILTON POLLOCK AND COMPANY
In George Ade's one act comedy, called, "Speaking to Father". A crackerjack comedy and all comedy lines, and a laugh after laugh. A good story, told in Ade slang. Worthy of immediate booking and a route. Twenty minutes, full stage.

HOEY AND LEE
It is remarkable how they are received here. The jury laughs from the time they get on till their finish and then give them a rounding hand. Fourteen minutes.

GUS. EDWARDS' KID KASARET
Well known. A wonderful feature of this set is they are on at 4.44 and run to 5.13 making thirty-four minutes, with the audience applauding for encore after encore, and they hold the house for the finale.
