The Lady of the Green Well (continued) 

a [illegible] in this very difficult spot, singing four [illegible] to tremendous applause. I think she has probably best voice we have ever had in vaudeville, at least I am not at this moment think of anyone who is as good in voice as she. She has a better voice than Kelle De Bussan but has not de Bussan's personality to back it up but this is more than made up by proper advertising and the interest created by her mysterious manner  of presentation and the large difference in salary. Should concealing her features, only mouth and nose (and, of course, the lower part of face) being visible to the audience. Sang four songs, high-grade but of a character that decidedly appealed to the audience, one in Italian, another in Spanish, a third in French and the fourth in English.  15 Min. in One, 2 shows. Carry special drop. Nor salary includes 1/2 sheets, one-sheets and printed pamphlets up to a reasonable manner and her press agent will also supply copy for anything else required.

A Night at the Circus  The Ellie Nowlin Trio and Company, together with a number of [supers?] in an exceedingly strong acrobatic comedy act. Would go to headline position anywhere. 18 Min. F. S. 2 shows.

Charlie Case  In a position somewhat easier [tha?] this in the afternoon he was a decided laughing hit. I am wondering if he will do as well in this spot. He is very good [illegible] but I cannot believe that he handed us full value for the money paid. 18 Min.  in One. [3?] shows.

Winston's Seals   same excellent act given us as previous occasions. 15 Min.  F. S.  2 shows.

Motion Pictures  O.K.
