SHEA'S EMPIRE THEATRE
CLEVELAND, O.
Week of Dec. 7, 1903
BAKER & LYNN
Presenting "The Electric Boy", which is going better in this position than it did farther down on the bill. Full stage 19 min.
IRVING JONES
This man is not going as well as usual owing I think, to his poor selection of songs. 15 min. In one
LAVEEN & CROSS
Equilibrists. Two young men in an acrobatic act, which, considering the price is one of the best acts of its kind we have ever played. 14 min. Full stage. Can close in one if necessary.
RAYMOND & CAVERLY
Mostly new material, and while they are going very strong, do not think they are making the hit they did on their last visit. 18 min. In one
SWEDISH LADIES QUINTET
Five young women in a novel singing act for which they carry a special set. One of the hits of the bill. Full stage closing in one. 19 min.
GIRARD & GARDNER
In "The Soubrette and the cop" which in spite of its age, seems to please fully as well as on previous occasions. Full stage 21 min.
MARIE DRESSLER
Unquestionably "America's Greatest Comedienne". The hit of the bill. Drapery in two. 15 min.
THE AVOLOS
Two men, one dressed as a woman, in a remarkable act on perpendicular bars, which is somewhat marred by the man's attempt at comedy. Full stage 8 min.
THE KINETOGRAPH
Showing views of "Fairyland". Very good. 14 min.
