PHILADELPHIA SHOW, MAY 22ND,'05 [1905]. 2. H. A. DANIELS.

CARLIN & OTTO-GNH-2-German comedians. Were here Feb. 13th. Have a hard spot to-day, and had hard work to hold the audience. Good Dutch act. Cut: "Bughouse" and "Dam Family." 16 mins. in one.

ZAZELL & VENRON CO.-GNH-2-Four people. Single horizontal bar and comedy acrobatic and tumbling act. First Time here for the new act. Title:- "The Elopement." The act is entirely in pantomime, and the work is quite slow in spots. They will be moved up the bill. Not as good as the old act. 13 mins. Garden in 5.

BIOGRAPH:-THE WEDDING, Good comedy; HOW JONES LOST HIS ROLL, Good novelty; "NONE ARE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WON"T SEE," Fair short comedy.

KALINOWSKI BROS.-ER-3-Hand balancers. Good three show sigh act. Do some new tricks, and fill in the time very acceptably. 10 mins. Garden in 5.

EDW. GRAY-NH-3-Monologue. Well known in all the Keith houses. Good three-show act. Can go most anywhere here up to 8.30. 15 mins. in one.

NOTE:-In the criticism last week I neglected to say that the Hilton-Hoefler Trio attempted to offer a comedy bicycle act. Their work improved during the week, and when it came time to close on Saturday, they were doing a good act. However, they need a whole lot of practice before they can be classed with the real live ones.
