CRITICISM
KEITH & PROCTOR'S 125TH STREET THEATRE
DECEMBER 2, 1907.
GALLETTI'S MONKEYS
Excellent opening act. Got them laughing from the start. Kept the crowd in good humor. Big applause on the finish. 15 Min. Full Stage.
IRVING JONES
This man started off rather tame but finally got them later on. His songs pleased fairly well, although his stories fell flat. He pleased however. 19 Minutes in one.
JOE HART'S MILITARY GIRLS
This is a revised edition of the famous Firecrackers. Sorry it was revised. I really think it would have gone stronger if presented the same as before. The opening number "Posey Land," was very tame; the second, "The Home of the Frogs" received a wee bit of applause for the electric effects. "The Home of the Owl" just about got by and the last scene, "The Military Girls" was rather novel and pleased. The act is far from being a feature. The entire act lacks stage management. The girls make a fairly good appearance, but have no voices. This act is certainly a detriment to the show. 18 Minutes Full Stage.
QUINLAN & MACK
In their comedy "The Traveling Dentist". Made their usual big hit. Had the audience laughing continually. 20 Minutes in one.
HENRY HORTON & CO.
Assisted by Miss Louise Hardenburgh and James O'Niel in the comedy "Uncle Lem's Dilemma". Henry Horton portrays the character of a Yankee farmer and does it fairly good. The balance of the company are excellent. The comedy is light in construction, the laughs frequent, the play interesting, and holds the audience. 21 Minutes, opens in one about 5 Minutes.


hit of the show. 21 Minutes Full Stage.
FAIETTE ORCHESTRA
The students of Caroline B. Nichols proved favorites from the start  All her selections received. big applause, the applause being spontaneous and stronger after every number. The Grand American Fantasia proved a sensation. The house arose and yelled. Big applause. 30 Minutes Full Stage.
KINETOGRAPH
Yale Laundry  Good Comedy.
