HARRY TATE'S "MOTORING" The usual big laughing hit. The five men are all very good, and they got three curtains. 17 minutes, full stage.

SMITH & CAMPBELL. Big advance applause. These men were a scream from start to finish, and they certainly are funny. Good act. 20 minutes in one.

LISLE LEIGH & CO. Miss Leigh supported by Edward [Elsner? Elsnor?] and Mary Davenport in a sketch called "Kid Glove [Man? Nan?]." This sketch has been overlooked too long. It is full of interest from start to finish, and is splendidly acted by Miss Leigh. She is exceptionally good. It is the story of a woman who has become a thief, and after being released from prison is arrested while stealing jewels from a man who lives in the same house. Her description of her criminal life got a big hand. This act has a good pleasing finish, and got three big curtains. I can recommend this set highly. It can be played any where and at the price is a "find." 10 minutes, full stage.

ETHEL LEVEY. Big advance applause. Miss Levey sang three coon songs and one straight. These songs and her dancing made quite a hit, and her work is good, but not to be compared with that of Eve Tanguay last week. I hope her name will draw money for it is an awful salary for the work. 12 minutes in one.

SIX [illegible] This well known act went as well as ever. It is certainly the most picturesque and good act on the circuit. 10 minutes, full stage.

KINETOGRAPH. A Runaway Motor Car. Funny, Wonderful Transformation. Interesting French film. Picnic Hampers. Very funny.

NOTE.
A great show from start to finish, and ought to carry out last week's big business.
