Master Gabriel & Co. On at 3.39, 22 min, full stage. There have been several changes made in the sketch since it was here last year, all of them to its betterment. Went very big with this afternoon's audience and will undoubtedly be a strong drawing card all the week, particularly on Saturday. Would that I had it in a week when there was no school Walter C. Kelly. On at 4.01, 16 min, in 1. His first appearance in this country since his return from England. To my mind as clever an entertainer in 1 as ever appeared in this country. A pronounced hit, and will be worth even more to us his second week than his first. Ned Wayburn's "Phantastic Phantoms". On at 4.17, 16 min, full stage. Novelty acrobatic dancing act, employing black art methods. Good to play once on account of its novelty, but I doubt if it would be worth its money as a repeater. Think it will make a satisfactory closing act for this week's show, and know it will go much smoother the rest of the week than it did this afternoon. Kinetograph. On at 4.33, 23 min. Showing "A Visit to Constantinople", a very good film, combination scenic and comic, with comedy predominating. "Pres. Fallieres' Visit to the French Colonial Exposition", one of the most interesting films I have seen in some time. This also contains some good comedy bits. "Private Atkins Minds the Baby", good humorous picture. These three pictures make one of the best motion picture features we have had recently. Larose & Frederic. On at 4.56, 12 min, full stage; 3 shows. A very good novelty wire act. If it came from Europe and had a little more elaborate paraphernalia, we would be paying it double the money and playing it in a good spot on our bills. This act is much better than the majority of our opening acts. Two Kings. On at 5.08, 10 min, in 1; 3 shows. Nice looking young fellow and fairly attractive looking girl, in stereotyped singing and dancing act. The "He" King is a pretty good performer. While the "She" King dances fairly well, her voice is a joke. Cuts: Mullen & Corelli. Cut out comedian's remark, "You've broken my heart", after he receives a blow with the slapstick. Linton & Lawrence. "Pawtucket" and "Pain in the seat us" limericks. Friend & Downing. Use of the word "Kike". "Little bit more" parody. "Mariechia" parody. Master Gabriel & Co. Count Wheeze was instructed that when he strikes Auntie with his hat, he is to strike her on the shoulders or back, not lower down. Comment. Certainly a good show. If we were only sure of doing as well as this right along, I do not think that we would have to worry about the opposition. 241-
