Harper, Desmond and Dailey  man and two women, "real Coons" This act is greatly improved. Were the hit of the show up to this time. Street in one, sixteen minutes.

O'Hann San & Co. Presenting a very pretty posing act, with special scenery and electrical effects. entitled "Scenes from Japan". Each picture was thoroughly appreciated and the act closed strong, athough it is nicely presented and pleases, hardly think it will draw any money and would prefer not to play it again at that figure. Eleven minutes, full stage, two shows.

Brothers Otto  "German Comedians" Conversation on the start was very weak, finally got them with the double voiced ballad singing on the finish. Eleven minutes in one, three shows.

Obersteirer Troupe First time hero. One big hit. Each of their selections was applauded. Could't get enough. Took five curtains to-night on the finish. Fifteen minutes full stage, two shows.

Geo. W. Day  This man caught the crowd on the start with his parody. His material is about the same, nothing new. He managed to make them laugh continually. Ninteen minutes in one. Two shows.

Foy & Clark "In the old Curiosity Shop" Played here fourteen weeks ago. The house wouldn't have this act to-night. The laughs were far apart, most all their material fell flat. Would prefer not play them again with this act. Sixteen minutes full stage. Two shows.

Howard & North In the talking comedy "Happy Days" One continual laugh from start to finish. The act is quite novel and was the hit of the show. Twenty-three minutes in one, own drop, two shows.

Meehan's Dogs  Very pretty act. Dogs nicely trained. Received a big lot of applause throughout. Fifteen minutes, two shows.
