[[underline]]MASTER GABRIEL & CO.[[end underline]], "Auntie's Visit":- 22 min. F.S. 2 shows. On at 10:05. There need be no comment on this act, except that it played better than ever and went just as big with our audiences as on previous occasions. Without a doubt one of the very best children's acts in Vaudeville, and means big business. Applause and laughter all the way through, and a lively finish.

[[underline]]KINETOGRAPH[[end underline]]:-HOW ISAACS WON THE CUP:- Fairly good comedy film.
WILD ANIMAL PARK HAMBURG:- Good travel film, a little too much of an adv. for Hagenback.
A BAFFLED BURGLAR:- Fairly good comedy film.

BURNS & MILLER, Com. acro:-12 Min. F.S. 3 shows. On at 6:36. This act is about the same as Miller played here with another partner. The comedy was shy then andhis new partner has not improved that part of it much. However, the jumping is good and the act can fill an unimportant place very well.

[[underline]]GENERAL REMARKS:[[endunderline]]-
This is a thoroughly well balanced and strong show. The three-a-day section is not as firmly entrenched as might be, with the exception of the "Nightingales" who are a distinct hit in their small way. There is no doubt aboutthe success of this bill with the public for the balance of the week as both press and patrons seemed eminently satisfied.

[[underline]]CUTS and OBJECTIONS[[end underline]]:-
LEW BLOOM:- The name of "Wilson" in the whiskey song.
MORROW & SCHELLBERG:- Expression "Hell of a millionaire".
ALL LEECH:- cat and dog story, "bitter and".Also "what God has joined together &c--".
