Keith-Albee managers' report book, September 4, 1905 - April 23, 1906

Page 136a

Kinetograph, 3 shows, 15 min. in 1--We simply ran one picture today, "The Night Before Christmas", the pillow scene of which scored considerable alughter and the whole film got a big hand at the close.

The Aherns, 3 shows, 11 min. full stage--Bicycle and unicycle riders. Nothing to stamp it as much better than the rest, but still it is all right for the 3-show section for an act of this sort.

Jack Lyle, 3 shows, 12 min. in 1--Monologue and singing comedian. Went very well with the holiday crowd today but his position is essentially in the 3-show action.

Robert DeVeaux, 3 shows, 15 min. in 2--Rapid crayon artist  Has changed the most of his subjects since he was last here and I consider him one of the best men in the 3-a-day section doing this sort of work. All of his work was thoroughly appreciated.

The Taylors, 3 shows, 15 min. in 1--Man and woman, "real coon" comedians, singers and dancers. They are only of the 3-a-day order and are just about the average.

Comment:- Today was an unusually pleasant one to be out of doors and as a sconsequence the house was not filled until 3 o'clock. The show is a good one and I think we will do an excellent business during the week.
