Emile Taffary, 2 shows, 11 min. full stage--Showing a troupe of dogs, the best thing of which is the elaborate costumes in which the animals are arrayed. Act made a hit.
Vassar Girls, 2 shows, 20 min. open in 5 min. in 1, close full stage - 20 min. in all--In a musical, singing, dancing and electric sketch, one of the best ever played in this house. Held the audience until the finish, and will be the big hit of the show.
Biograph, 5 shows, 20 min. in 1--The best picture, "A Day at Coney Island", which was greeted with laughs and applause throughout,
Mooney and Holbein, 3 shows, 15 min. full stage (can close in 1, if needed)--Comedy acrobatic, singing and dancing act. All right in the 3-show section. Held the audience remarkably well in a hard section of the show.
Comment:- Excellent show throughout. Was greatly impressed by the Ingram and Nicander act, which is beyond the general run and much better than expected. The balance of the show is excellent, according to undivided opinion, but the Grand Jury will have to approve of it later.
