Hungarian Boys' Band. They did as well here as reports said they did in other places, that is they scored a hit. 23 min. full stage. As at the finish of their act, they leave the stage entirely bare, it is possible to follow them with an acrobatic act, as I am doing this week. 2 shows.

Toozoonin Arabs. No doubt the very best acrobatic act for "hurrah" effect and the most sensational closing feature for a vaudeville show. 10 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Motion Pictures. O. K.

[cut off] At the price and three shows [cut off]. Could go in the early section in the 2-a-day houses.

FURTHER COMMENT ON TOM EDWARDS.
He went better last night than he did in the afternoon and improved his act by smoking a cigar during the first part of his act, all through, which he didn't do at the afternoon performance. His "Patter" however with the "Dummy" is not funny and that part of the act drags somewhat, but when he gets to the "baby" work he certainly made a tremendous hit. 25 min. on the night show, but I believe the act is better by being a little bit shorter and omitting some of the jokes in the early part of his act.
