83 ---(2)--- HARRY DAVENPORT: Gives us the same material as when last here,-impersonations of the "perfectly perfect person" and also the character of the "Minister". Secured a big lot of laughs throughout and closed to fairly good applause, not going as well as on his last appearance. 11 min. in 1 MARIE WAINWRIGHT ASSISTED BY FRANK SHERIDAN: In:"Our Baby" Miss Wainwright was accorded a big reception as she made her appearance. The sketch was very nicely presented. The business is excellent, the lines bright, and secured many strong laughs with big applause at the finish. Act is thoroughly alright for a Summer feature. 25 min.-full stage MARROR & SCHELLBERG: Man in this act is quite clever, opening with a laughing song, which pleased immensely. He is sort of a mimetic comedian, giving various conceptions of human life from child to old age, which secured a big lot of applause. Woman makes a very nice appearance, but does not amount to a whole lot and her vocal work just about pleases. Act on the whole is alright, if on about 9 o'clock. 12 min. in one - 2 shows RAPPO SISTERS: Dancers. Two young women in a series of various Russian dances. Received a big lot of applause for their peculiar steps and mannerisms. 5 min.-full stage- 2 shows HOEY & LEE: As usual, this act was the applause hit of the show this afternoon. Their conversation was a laugh from start to finish and the singing a scream, the audience never tiring of their parodies. 17 min. 1 4 RIANOS: 3 men and a woman. Two men impersonating monkeys. In their original comedy novelty:-"In Africa." Well known over the circuit. Secured quite a number of laughs throughout. Good closing act. 13 min.-full stage- KINETOGRAPH: "A Glutton taken for a Thief" French comedy film. Fairly good "Scenes at West Point & Military Academy" Very instructive. Interesting. Good "An Adventurous Automobile Trip" Rather fakey, but amuses
