Richard Golden. In the sketch "A Case of Divorce". Mr. Golden is undoubtedly the best impersonator of the rural New England character before the foot-lights today. The sketch is decidedly acceptable and because of Mr. Golden's excellent ability is particularly strong. I feel that he will draw us some money. We will need it with this show. 27 Min. in 3, 2 Shows.

Clifton Crawford. Mr. Crawford was unable to hold his audience in this spot. The show was on time and many a monologuist, at a great deal less salary, has been able to do so with the show running late on a Monday afternoon. 12 Min. was the best he could give us in 1, 2 Shows.

La Maze Brothers. Comedy acrobats. Among the very best acts of this kind that we have ever played. Such as the audience remained (after Clifton Crawford got through with them) screamed with delight. 10 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Mayme Remington & Picks. This act came between McKenzie & Shannon and Richard Golden. Miss Remington's act was handicapped by the absence of her most important pickaninny, who she said had run away from her on Sunday night. The dancing and some of the acrobatic work was done and the act can still be considered all right to play with a difference in salary. 12 Min. in 1, 2 Shows.

Motion Pictures. O.K.
