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

Page 62a

Juno Salmo.
This man has a very novel turn, both in manner of presentation and work done which includes some of the best contortion feats I have ever seen. 10 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.
Murphy & Nichols.
In their familiar satire "Zaza to Uncle Tom", which, considering the number of times it has been here, went very well indeed. 24 Min. open in 1, close Full Stage, 2 Shows.
McMahon & Chappelle's Pullman Porter Maids.
This is a nice novelty. It is too bad in presenting this that McMahon & Chappelle could not have introduced, for their own part, a new line of dialogue. They are putting in exactly the same gags they have used during the two previous seasons. While I consider the act a good one, and nicely presented, I can't see where the value comes in, for the price paid, by at least $200. 25 Min. open in 1, close Full Stage, 2 Shows.
Motion Pictures.  O. K.
Goforth & Doyle.
Man and woman, man in blackface, woman, straight. Semi-sketch with some attempt at singing and dancing. Very bad act. I can dig up a better act in Norwich and Southbridge for $50. a week. 18 Min. open in 3, close in 1, 3 Shows.
