PHILADELPHIA SHOW, FEB. 12, 1906.
C. E. BARNS.
HUGH JEANS.--14 min. in 3., close 3 min. in 1. Baseball juggler. Very acceptable opener. Carried his own drop showing a base-ball field. Some of his stunts received a good hand and the novelty of the act seemed to make up for any short-comings in phenomenal dexterity. His work in 1 with the wand was particularly new and clever, and was well liked.
THE EDGERTONS.--11 min. F. S. Trapeze artists. Dark stage, electric lights encircling paraphernalia. Good work marred by insecure stand, which, upon being struck in a swing, was unsettled so that act had to be closed. Some applause. Will go all right to-night.
WARD & WARD.--15 min. in 1. Rather poor singers, but their dancing was a great hit. Some new steps and caught crowd. O. K. at price and place.
SAONA.--14 min. in 1. Rather a surprise, for his work went very well. Imitations of Lee, Grant, etc. very strongly applauded. Carnegie, Henry VII and others not so strong but he got a hearty recall. All right.
FRITZ ULLRICH.--F. S. Palace, 14 min. Some advance applause. Selections a little over heads of audience, but all played in a masterly manner, and he got house after second number. Strong encore with popular selection. This man is all, all right for the circuit at this price (G Y R), and is strongly recommended.
TYCE & JERMON.--18 min. in 1. "Real Irish Girl and Dainty Comedienne." Pretty costumes and pleasing personalities. Lines none too strong nor new, and the songs were likewise somewhat hackneyed, but they have a dash and go that pleased throughout. Took the holiday crowd quite well and got recall.
ARTHUR DUNN & MARIE GLAZIER.--21 min. F. S. "The Messenger Boy." Make good entrance and got good advance applause. Lines very bright and delivered humorously every time. Dunn never missed a chance to get a laugh at any price, and in two instances over-stepped the bounds. Miss Glazier sings acceptably, and has fine stage presence and figure. Laughs throughout the act and finish strong. Cut, "Tell him to go to hell!" Also, "I'll be as good as you will."
THERESA DORGEVAL.--11 min. in 1. European Singer with charming presence and a phenomenal voice. Every selection went well. Encore and big finish. A good feature for a Philadelphia music-loving audience.


so that a capacity [???] week (Although the schools were closed to-day, Lincoln's Birthday [???] we are safely assured of a good business.
KINETOGRAPH.--
A SHAVE BY INSTALLMENTS. Rather amusing comedy series.
THE PEA-SHOOTER. ditto. Won a few laughs.
MOOSE-HUNTING IN CANADA.-- A very realistic group, full of outdoors, and took well. Would like one of the kind every week.
SKI-RUNNING.--Of the foregoing variety. Most interesting, full of action and far removed from the artificial and the fake. O. K.
MR. AND MRS. FRED LUCIER.--Followed Kinetograph because of other violinist. [???] 20 min. "Rustic Romeo." Took very well, the
