#3.-Phila. WOOD & LAWSON, 11 min. in 1. 3 shows. On at 6:50. This is a pretty little act. The singing is a little shy, but the dancing is right up to the mark, particularly that of Wood's wooden-shoe dancing which quite brought down the house. Closed very good. MILTON'S DOGS:- 18 min. F.S. 3 shows. On at 7:01. Seven well trained fox terriers that do the regulation stunts, while Milton himself does some clever work on a double horizontal bar. Very fair three-a-day act. LITTLE "HIP":- 10 min. in 2. On at 5:00. The principal interest in the baby elephant is his availability as a program boy in the lobby. Mounted upon a table with his trainer at his side, he distributes Keith News afternoon and evening to the patrons as they come in and crowd around him. He is especially a pet with the children and is one of the best features of this kind that we have ever had. His work on the stage is rather interesting, doing several common stunts, but his principal value lies in his virtue as an advertiser. To-night he will distribute menu-cards at the Jeweller's banquet at the Bingham Roof Garden, posing for flash-light pictures, and other stunts are in preparation. GENERAL REMARKS:- In spite of the fact that our headliner was something of a falldown, considered as a headliner, nevertheless the show gives general satisfaction and both the press and patrons seemed satisfied. There is plenty of novelty and newness in the acts and abundant comedy. By shifting, the various features stood out better and the show ran much smoother. Business continues to be big in spite of the opposition, both in another house across the way, and Forepaugh & Sells Circus. CUTS AND OBJECTIONS:- WM. GOULD & VALESKA SURATT:- I'm staying at the St. James, where all the big bugs stay.--" "We have just as big bugs where I am staying."-
