(2) MR. & MRS. SIDNEY DREW: In their comedy:-"When two hearts are won." First time here for years. Both good performers and the comedy excellent. Continual laughter throughout and big applause on the finish. 18 min. full stage- 2 shows JOE FLYNN: Eccentric Monologuist. This man negotiated this spot in good shape. His material is all the same as when presented here before, but he seemed to draw out a few laughs and received some little applause. 16 min. in one- 2 shows PAUL CONCHAS: There was nothing new introduced in this man's act for his second week. All of his work was strongly applauded and there is no doubt but what he will hold his own as an attraction throughout the week. 25 min.-full stage COOPER & ROBINSON: 2 colored men in the customary singing and dancing comedy act. One is a funny "coon" while the other is a good singer. Their impersonation of the two Hebrews, which is immense, caught the house. They presented one of the best colored acts we have had for some time. 12 min. in one- 2 shows SAM WATSON'S FARMYARD: This is one of the few acts of this nature that the audience appreciated. All of his work went with big laughs. 18 min.-full stage- 2 shows KINETOGRAPH: "The Two Little Waifs." An old kidnapping subject. Rather serious, but alright. "Mr. Butt-in." Good comedy. Some scenes rather rough. NOTE: The Managers on the Circuit should notify the performer when there is an objection made to any of his material that the same must be eliminated from his act on the entire Keith Circuit, and all objections in one house are supported by the other. If such a system was in vogue to-day, it would not be necessary to again notify Joe Flynn, Mr. & Mrs. J. Barry and several others of material which we desired "Cut out."
