GRAND OPERA HOUSE
PITTSBURG, PA.   NoveMber, 05.

HY GREENWAY-Comedy Juggler. 3 shows. Time of act 14 minutes. Wood.
This act does very well among the three a day.

NELLIE BURT-3 shows. Olio. Time of act 14 minutes.
Would not care to play her very late on the bill. She just about gets through among the three show acts.

THE MAGINLEYS-Aerial act. 3 shows. Time of act 10 minutes.
This act is much better than many acts in the business playing two a day. I think it is undoubtedly the best act of its kind doing three shows.

MAY BELFORD-Singing comedienne. Olio. Time of act 14 minutes.
Doing fairly well. I feel that Miss Belfort makes a mistake in the introductions to her songs, which are entirely too long.

FELIX-BARRY & CO. In "The Boy Next Door". Interior. Time of act 20 minutes.
This is a comedy singing and talking acrobatic act and is going very big with us.

STUART BARNES-Monologue. Time of act 18 minutes. Olio. Going bigger than ever with us.

COLE & JOHNSON-Interior. Time of act 20 minutes-close in one five minutes. 

FERRY CORWEY-Musical clown. Garden in two. Time of act 12 minutes.
This act is a distinct novelty, away from anything we have ever played and is going very well.

ANNIE IRISH & CO. in "Jim and Me". SPecial set. Time of act 23 minutes. 
Very bad sketch and I do not know that I have ever seen worse before.

EIGHT ALLISONS-Acrobats. Garden, full stage. Time of act 9 minutes
Undoubtedly the greatest acrobatic act in the business. We have never played anything near so good in this line. 

MESSENGER BOYS TRIO-Time of act 17 minutes in one. Singers and comedians. This, I consider, a very good act. They went very big with us Monday.

CABARETS DOGS-Time of act 12 minutes.
This is a very ordinary act but is doing fairly well with us.
