3.- Phila.
HARNDIN'S ELECTRIC BALLET, "Starlight":- Second week. 7 min. F.S. 2 shows. On at 9:59. Just as beautiful as ever, and just as big a hit. This act is certainly talked about. Very few people leave the theatre until after this. It will be a stronger card this week than it was last. Works smoothly and although there is no great applause, it is thoroughly enjoyed.
KINETOGRAPH:-
THE FAKIR AND THE FOOTPADS:-Fairly good comedy series, getting a good many laughs.
MEPHISTO'S SON:-Another comedy series of a spectacular order, that is quite up to the standard.
Kinetograph series on the whole is O.K. this week.
GENERAL-REMARKS: A good average show, right up to the Keith Standard, and one that will do business for the balance of the week. No particular surprises, except that perhaps LEE TUNG FOO held a difficult spot on the bill much better than we expected, and received the appreciation of both audience and the press, perhaps with a little sympathy increasing their interest in the novelty. Weather ideal and business immense.
The bill revised, as follows:-
Kimball & Lewis...6:30
Nessen, Hunter & Nessen...6:45
Halley & Mann...6:55
Harry Botter & Co....7:06
Keith's Orchestra...7:25
Meade & Dog...7:30
Lelia Taylor...7:41
Quigg, Mackey & Nickerson...7:52
O'Brien Havel...8:11
Grant & Hoag...8:34
Three Donals...8:54
Lee Tung Foo...9:02
Chas. Evans & Co....9:14
Empire Comedy Four...9:39
Harndin's Ballet...9:59
Kinetograph...10:06
10:30.
