REPORT OF SHEA'S SHOW, WEEK OF JAN. 30TH, 1905.

GREENE & WERNER, a good novelty act opening in white face and both finish blacked up as "babes of the jungle." Special and attractive scenery, full stage 14 minutes.

DIXSON & ANGES, a fairly good talking act, all in one 15 minutes.

MR. & MRS. JIMMY BARRY in their same sketch "A Skin Game", going very well, full stage, close in one 22 minutes.

HARRY HOWARD'S PONIES. This act is better than ever, having undergone several changes which are improvements, carries a special arena scene, full stage 22 minutes.

VERA KING in some songs and stories. The only fault we have to find is her gown which is not at all becoming, all in one, 12 minutes.

BEDINI & ARTHUR, comedy juggling. This act certainly makes them laugh, full stage closing in one 18 minutes.

NAVAJO GIRLS, a fairly good musical number in which there are several changes of costume. The act permits of a lot of advance advertising but scarcely comes up to what is expected, full stage closing in one 15 minutes.

KAUFFMANN TROUPE, bicycle act, very good, full stage 14 minutes. There are only six people in this act where they used to have eight and I am of the opinion that this has injured the act to some extent.

KINETOGRAPH, showing a picture of the Suburbanite, one of the best comedy pictures every made, 10 minutes.
