REPORT OF SHEA'S SHOW, WEEK OF MARCH 12TH, 1905.

WOOD & RAY in a bunch of nonsense. This is a very good comedy act and the finish in one is immense, full stage close in one 12 minutes.
MARY DUPONT & CO. in a quiet little sketch, going fair with the audience, full stage 19 minutes.
LIZZIE N. WILSON, German comedienne, a good singing act, all in one 12 minutes.
REED BIRDS. Good combination of singing, dancing and comedy. The only fault to find is that it is too long, full stage close in one 33 minutes.
DELLA FOX looks better than she has at any time during her vaudeville engagements. Her voice is stronger and she seems more like her former self. Miss Fox comes out first in dress but it is when she changes to boy's costume for her second song that she makes good with the audience, works in two 11 minutes.
HARRY GILFOIL. Too much praise cannot be given to this act. Mr. Gilfoil is in my opinion the best entertainer in vaudeville to-day, full stage 21 minutes.
LEW SULLY with a lot of new songs and sayings. Has a most difficult place on the bill but makes good and gets the applause, all in one 15 minutes.
THE KEELER'S JAPS, a new Japanese act but very good, full stage 18 minutes.
KINETOGRAPH with new pictures 10 minutes.
