GRAND OPERA HOUSE.  PITTSBURG, PA.  OCTOBER 21st, 07.

[[underline]]MR. [[?]]. TRACY-[[end underline]] 13 minutes. This is not a good act, not even in the three a day section.
[[underline]]THE ASHERS[[?]][[end underline]]-12 minutes in one. 3 shows. Will just about get away in the three a day section.
[[underline]]SAL COLLINS[[end underline]]- 14 minutes, street. Undoubtedly the worst act I have ever seen. If I were paying him $50.00 I would feel that I was being cheated.
[[underline]]FETCHING BROS[[end underline]].- "Musical Flower Garden". 21 min. Special A good comedy musical act for about eight o'clock.
[[underline]]ANNA & EFFIE[[?]] [[?]][[end underline]]- 11 minutes, olio. In songs and stories. A very good act and going very big.
[[underline]]"POLLY [[?]] [[?]][[end underline]] 17 minutes. While this act has several less people in it than on its first appearance here, it is going just as well as ever.
[[underline]]HARRY TATE'S[[?]] [[?]][[end underline]]- 15 minutes. This is the third engagement this act has played here and they went fully as strong as on their first appearance. I think it is much better than it was last year.
[[underline]]SOPHIE[[?]] BRANDT[[end underline]]- 11 minutes. Olio.
Miss Brandt wears beautiful costumes and has a very good voice but her selections of songs for vaudeville, in my opinion, are not good.
[[underline]][[?]] [[?]] & CO.- 21 minutes, special, in her sketch "Kit[[?]]", introducing three people. This is away from most sketches we have played and while I do not consider Miss [[?]] is great in the part, her hard work makes the act go very big.
[[underline]]JACK [[?]][[end underline]]- 21 minutes in one. Just as big a hit as ever.
PECCHIANI[[?]] TROUPE- 8 acrobats. 10 minutes, palace. A very good act.
[[underline]][[?]]. HERBERT[[end underline]]- 3 shows, 18 minutes. "The musical Lining Table. Would prefer not to play him again.
[[underline]]GHAS.[[?]] FARRELL[[end underline]]- Black face singing, dancing and whistling act. 12 min. Very good in the three a days ection.

John [[?]]. Harris.
