PHILADELPHIA SHOW AUG. 7th 1905.   H.T.JORDAN.

GOETZ & NELSON-3-KR-Two men working on revolving globes introducing club juggling, high jumping and so forth. Some of their work was quite novel to our audience and received applause. Good act for early bill. 10 mins. Gar. in 3.

VIOLET STALEY-3-HR-A well gowned woman with a pretty good voice who sang three songs acceptably, could go on later. Good act. 11 mins. in 1.

MOONEY & HOLBEING-3-GRR- Man and woman in what they term a "Vaudeville Intermezzo" introducing singing, dancing, mandolin and piano playing, and high kicking. The woman is a pretty good singer while the an went very well with his dancing and high kicking. Entertaining to our audience all through. good early act. 16 mins. in 3. 

ALF. HOLT-3-GRR- Mimic and whistler. His work is well known over this circuit. Frequent applause and an especially good hand at the finish. Good act. 15 mins. in 1.

HERBERT BROOKE-3-BRR- Card manipulator and trunk mystery. This man offers but two card tricks which though old are presented in a novel fashion, then goes into his trunk trick which so far as our audience is concerned is still a mystery and very cleverly done. Held the attention of the audience and kept them guessing. Good hand at the finish. 
Open 3 ins. in 1.  6 mins. in 3.

YOUNG AMER. 5-3GHR-- Four men and one woman in songs and dances. These people were the applause hit of the show up to this point and while none of them are gifted with exceptional voices, their concerted work is good and the dancing  introduced lively. A good act. 12 mins. in 1.

STINSON & MERTON-2-GENH- Man and woman in their well known nonsense act.
These people received the first applause of the day and kept the audience in a roar all the time they were on the stage. Always a good act for this house. 17 mins. in 3. Close 5 mins. in 1. 

VOLPI'S ANIMALS-2-YRR-  Four dogs, four bears and three monkeys. Wormwood is here with the act. I understand to-day was the first time for it on any stage and from the way the animals worked this afternoon it looks as if the act was put on about a month too soon. Few of the tricks went through, there was absolutely no routine and take it all in allit dragged so from start to finish that it put an awful crimp in our show which up to this time had been going first rate. There are possibilities in the act but they are far from being developed as yet. Act goes on to-night at 7.30 and Wormwood promises much improvement. 21 mins. in 4.

DAISY DUMONT-2-GRR-  An attractive young woman, beautifully gowned and possessing a good voice in songs of the day. Pleased our audience this
