PERMANE BROS.
An athletic fantasy that is highly pleasing all the way, and that could hold most any position on a bill. 11 min. FS.

KATHRYN DAHL.
We did not expect much from this singer, according to the reports, but we were agreeably surprised with her singing, and her selection of songs, and our audience took to her right away. She is thoroughly all right. 14 min. in one.

FELIX & BARRY
In their old comedy and singing act. This would be a very good act for modern vaudeville if Felix would cut out his coarseness with Barry when they are tete-a-tete. 20 min. FS. Close in one.

GEORGE AUGER & CO.
Notwithstanding the poor delivery of Auger, and the "fierce" acting of Sylvia Hearne, this is a corking good act, particularly for our matinee audiences. The lilliputs[[?]] are all right, and the act itself is a big novelty as the contrast in the size of Auger and the lilliputs is so great as to almost create a sensation. 24 min. FS.

MILT WOOD.
This singer and dancer did fine in this spot, and went away to considerable applause. 8 min. in one.

"ROSE DeHAVEN SEPTETTE."
Six girls and one young man, the latter carried for the purpose of opening in one with a song. As we did not need an opening in one the man was used just for a moment as a chauffeur. The act is better if used this way. This is one of the best dressed acts we ever played, and it is thoroughly and decidedly pleasing. 30 min. FS.

HOWARD & NORTH
Again, presenting "Those Were the Happy Days." A very good act, so good in fact that everybody who sees it remembers it. It did not go as well this time as heretofore. 18 min. in two.

BATTY'S BEARS.
The general knocking received by this act prepared us for something very bad in the animal line, but as presented here it is all right, and will create a world of interest for the children and their mothers who attend the matinees. 10 min. FS

KINETOGRAPH.
"Pottery Making in Japan" is a very interesting instructive series of pictures.
