Agnes Scott & Horace Wright. Unquestionably this is the very best act in the entire bill, the real headline feature; so decided by the audience as well as myself. One of the best little sketches, as well as best played we have had in many a day; equal to many that we pay more than twice the money for. 24 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Bowers, Walters & Crooker. "The Three Rubes". Well-known act which held this place most satisfactorily. In order to accommodate me they opened in One for a few moments, going to Two, and finally when we had a clear stage, did their Full Stage work and closed in One, in order to make the next set, giving us thereby almost the benefit of an act in One. Where sets are not too heavy, they can easily do this and they can hold the spot. 14 Min. 2 Shows.

Belle Hathaway's Monkeys. Not a great act, but one that pleases as monkeys always do. 13 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Motion Pictures. "The Runaway Horse", exceedingly fun.
"Scenes in Switzerland", very good, interesting and educational.
