Kinetograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1--Showing the following list of picture:
1. Love versus Title. Fair picture with a little chase in it that got some laughs.
2. Jewel Robbers Mystified. Quite a fair film that just pleases.

T. J. Gorman and Estelle West, 3 shows, 16 min. in 3--In a comedy, singing and dancing sketch. Too well-known to need comment from me. The 3-a-day section is their proper place without doubt, and I question if they will ever get out of it.

"Alexander", 3 shows, 10 min. in 1--Has not much of a voice and it was easy to see that many of our patrons were ready to proclaim that we had "nerve" until he pulled off his wig at the close, when he got considerable applause. Would not care for the act again.

O'Laughlin and Cohen, 3 shows, 14 min. in 1--Two men, one working straight and the other in eccentric makeup. Conversationalists, singers and dancers. Their talk amounts to nothing, the best part of his work is the imitation by one of the men of train drawing out from a station and that got a very good hand in this tough spot on the bill.

Valding and Davis, 3 shows, 10 min. full stage--Two men, in a clever exhibition on the trapeze. This is an act I was forced to put in owing to a general dropping off on time. They are quite clever workers and from a 3-a-day standpoint, are all right.

Comment:- While the show has little of the big material of last week, it is a very satisfactory one, being well balanced and everybody seemed pleased. We had a cloudy day and as a consequence, a very good Monday afternoon audience, and I see no reason why it should not continue with good weather.
