Cooper & Robinson. Well-known coon comedians who were very well accepted in this spot. 14 min. in 1, 2 shows.

Mr. and Mrs. Gardner CRANE. In a very pretentious act which was well received as naturally we would expect it to be on account of conditions named above. Changes are quickly made and characters well played, especially by Mrs. Crane who, in this piece, completely overshadows her husband. 32 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Cliff Gordon. German political speech, with some timely hits. Went very strong. 15 min. in 1, 3 shows.

Solbini & Orovini. While this act is all right in a way, it by no means comes up to what I was led to believe it was, and in this house is only fir for an eight o'clock position, at best. 10 min. full stage, 3 shows.

Motion Pictures. Pigeon Fairy. Trick picture, rather pretty.
Hand of an Artist. Comedy trick picture, fairly good.
New York Athletic Club Games, good.
Voyage Around a Star, good comedy film.
