Keith's New Theatre, Phila. Nov. 16th.

Prevost & Prevost-15 mins.-Spec. Set in 3-Two men, in a comedy acrobatic act. One of the men is a good acrobat. Comedy is not above the average,but this act has a good windup.

Biograph-20 mins. in one-Very good selection.

Comment:-
The show is not exceptionally strong. There were numerous waits, owing to a lack of acts in one. We has three acts in one,which includes the Biograph. Best on had nine; New York,six;Providence,eight; and the Bijou, eight. With this scarcity of acts in one there will have to be a great deal of shifting to get the show to run in any sort of order, and Burkhart will have to go on 8 o'clock to-night to get these kinks out of the bill. The Vassars and the dogs held over, and Maxwell could never draw a cent here--therefore we lacked a new feature of any kink, and of course this does not tend to draw much business.
