Keith-Albee managers' report book, April 30, 1906 - February 4, 1907, part 1

Page 73a

Kinetograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1 -- Showing the following list of interesting motion pictures:
1. The Olympian Games at Athens. This is an excellent film in every way, and I think will cause considerable talk about town.
2. Watch Dog. Fair comedy film.
3. Troubles of a Fireman. Fair comedy.
Brown and DeLoris, 3 shows, 12 min. in 2 -- Cartoonist and vocalist. As a cartoonist, Brown is all right for the 3-a-day section, but the vocalist with him is the limit. After the first show I told him to stop her letting out those unearthly yells and to tone it down if she is to sing at all. If there is no improvement in the next show, I will cut the vocal work of the woman.
Blanche Everett, 3 shows, 13 min. in 1 -- Imitator of stage favorites including Stella Mayhew, Valerie Bergere and others. She is quite a clever woman, and every one of her imitations were strongly applauded for this spot on the bill.
Fitzgerald and Gilday, 3 shows, 14 min. in 1 -- Two men, talking comedians and parody singers. Most of their parodies were strongly applauded and what little talk they do, is bright and witty. I will move them into the spot occupied by the Barrows for the balance of the week.
Comment :- The show is a good one for a summer bill. The day was very hot and close and affected the audience and performer alike. Will undoubtedly go all right tonight.
