Keith-Albee managers' report book, March 9-December 14, 1908

Page 23a

Melville & Higgins.
these people scored very strongly with a new idea of a comedy talking act. They will be WELCOMED here next season. 20 Min. in 1 and satisfaction every second they are on the stage.
Minnie Seligman & Wm. Bramwell Co.
I can't say that this is a bad act, but it is certainly not a headline feature for this house. The reputations of the actors is not sufficient to make them worth any money for their name and I could get the sketch thoroughly as well played by a company for one-half the money. For that reason it is a disappointment. 27 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.
Fred Ray & Co.
Burlesque, Roman Tragedy which has not been changed in a single line since last season. For that reason fell down somewhat, altho not a frost, but not the big scream it was on it's former visit. 14 Min. in 1, 2 Shows.
Apdale's Animals.
Here is one of the best animal acts we ever played, regardless of price. It is a snappy, lively act with a lot of novelty and comedy. Changed to this position after the afternoon's performance and held its own at night thoroughly. 18 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.
Motion Pictures.  O. K.
