Keith-Albee managers' report book,, September 23, 1907 - March 12, 1908

Page 13a

Henry Bulger. On at 4.24, 11 min, in 1. At his price, Mr. Bulger is certainly a luxury. He fell down with a bump today, and I very much fear that he will prove a lemon as a headliner. Folt obliged to change to move him up the bill and move Tannen down.

Nlle. Marguerite's Equestrian Novelty. On at 4.35, 14 min, full start. The word Beautiful applies to the woman, her costumes, her horse, her pony and the act in its entirety. One of the swellest horse acts I have ever seen. I wish it was possible to put it in the heart of the bill.

Kinetograph. On at.4.49, 26 min. Showing "The Disintegrated Convict", a fair comedy film. We cut the introduction of this picture, as we did not consider the portion that showed the convict being clubbed by the prison-officers particularly [[?]]. "Cliff Climbing", a very interesting picture. "Those Boys Again", fair comic.

McGrath & Paige[[?]]. On at 5.15, 10 min, in 1, 3 shows. Neat-appearing couple in a banjo turn that would hold the number two spot in the smaller cities without any trouble.

Adeline Francis. On at 3.25, 11 min, in 1, 3 shows. Singing comedie[[?]] no. She has a fairly good stage appearance, but her voice is not particularly pleasing. Cannot recommend her.

Earl Bartlott. On at 5.36, 15 min, full stage; 3 shows. A very good 3-show act. Would put by in an early spot in most of the small cities, Earl being quite a clever Irish comedian.

Cuts:
Mr. & Mrs. Mark Murphy. Cut word "Rottenness". Use the word "winner" instead of "divil", in the phrase "divil among the women". 
[[?]]ardner & Stoddard. Cut out "Two good put[[?]] ons" squib. Business of the [[?]] head. Miss Stoddard instructed to keep her dress down, so as not to make pantalettes so noticible.
Harry Bul[[?]]er. Cut "Kowport" verse and "affinity" verse.

Comment. Despite Bulgor's fall down as the headliner, the show is a good one, containing some extremely good acts, several of them not to Boston, and business should hold up.
