Keith-Albee managers' report book, December 28, 1908 - October 18, 1909

KINETOGRAPH. "ROMAN IDOL." The most beautiful colored series of a classical, romantic playlet that we have ever had here. "NO PETTICOATS FOR HIM." A good comedy film.
KELLY & ASHBY. 11 min. F.S. Man works straight, the other eccentric. Good tumblers on the bounding billiard table with some rough comedy thrown in. This spot was given them because their act would conflict with the Bounding Gordons.
THOSE ALLYN GIRLS. 13 min. in one. Two young ladies who make a good appearance in three changes of costumes and give fairly good singing act.
THREE HARDTS. 13 min. F.S. Two men and woman introducing a lot of nonsense in the burlesque strong line. Use the usual wire on pullies, dummy dumbells and cannon balls to get the laugh.
GENERAL REMARKS. We have advertised this show as "The big laughing show," and it is certainly that. It starts off well with Alba and it is brilliantly humorous right up to the kinetograph. See no reason at all why this bill should not pull big money to the house this week, as this is sort of a semi-holiday week and we are making special preparations for Lincoln's Birthday. With a show like this, we should have a banner week of business.
