New York Criticism--Nov. [November] 13th, 1905.
----oo(2)oo----

BOOKER & CORELEY: In their Irish comedy entitled:-"The Walking Delegate." Described in previous criticism. Quite interesting and received a number of scattered laughs, although did not go as strong as we would like to have it. Will give them a better place to-night. 18 min.-drop in 2--2 shows

JACK NORWORTH: Presenting his original creation:-"The College Boy." He has quite an excellent lot of material and it all went in great shape. His parodies, as usual, were his stronghold. It is safe to say that if he was placed in another part of the bill, he would be the applause hit. 17 min. in one- 2 shows

NAVAJO GIRLS: Instrumentalists, Singers and Dancers. Twelve young ladies. Making a very nice appearance. Act was fully described in previous criticism. Rather rough in construction and far from being a feature act for this house. Just about got by to-day. 27 min.-full stage- 2 shows

BELLE HATHAWAY: With her Baboons and Monkeys: Fairly well trained. Received a lot of scattered laughs and a big lot of applause for the plate-catching baboon. 16 min.-full stage- 2 shows

KINETOGRAPH: "Matrimonial Agency." Good Comedy.
"Reception of Prince Louis of Battenburg." Quite interesting, especially at this season. Good photographically.
"Keep it straight." Very good comedy.
