NEW YORK SHOW, WEEK OF AUGUST 29th.--2.
SYDNEY DEAN & CO. MHR 2.-- In a vocal novelty entitled "Christmas on Blackwell's Island." They carry their own drop which represents three of the performers in cells, and the biggest part of the work is done with them behind the bars. The fourth performer is on the outside. They all have magnificent voices; in fact, I consider it about the best singing act that we have played for some time. They were rather unfortunate in their place on the bill this afternoon as it was a little too late for them, but that will be remedied on the night show. I don't think that there is any question but that the act, at the price we are paying for it and considering the element of novelty which it introduces, will be a success all over the circuit. 23 minutes in two.
SANDOR TRIO.--GNH 2.-- European ring performers. They have been over the circuit before and comment is unnecessary. They do a splendid act of the kind. 12 minutes, full stage.
BIOGRAPH. HR. 3.-- Presenting as the feature a long film entitled "The Moonshiners," consisting of ten pictures illustrating the illicit distilling of whiskey in the Kentucky mountains. There is no comedy in it at all, but it was thoroughly interesting from start to finish and got a big hand. 20 minutes in one.
