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

KINETOGRAPH. "HURRY UP PLEASE." One of the funniest films I ever saw. I brings roars of laughter. SILHOUETTES. Interesting French film novelty. GALLANT GUARDSMAN. A beautiful series and extremely interesting.
PAMAHASIKA'S PETS. 18 min. F.S. This is a local act. The young man seems to be very ambitious and has dressed his act beautifully. The white birds appearing against red plush background are very beautiful. There are parrots, cockatoos and pigeons, all of them seem remarkably well trained. His paraphernalia is all showman-like and his costuming brilliant. The act pleased the audience very much indeed and could be particularly recommended for the children.
REESE BROTHERS. 12 min. One man works straight, the other eccentric. A mediocre three-a-day act, consisting of some fairly good singing and humor and some good musket and baton juggling. All right for the spot that we have given it.
DELPHINO & DELMORA. 18 min. These people have improved their act since they were here before and introduce a lot of new stuff. It is exaggerated grotesque comedy with some good musical work. Delphino has made his eccentricities more pronounced than ever with the addition of electric lights in his fake ears, nose and in his costuming. I saw this act a few days ago and it took very well with the holiday crowd.
GENERAL REMARKS. This is a good show and ought to take well with our audience. Princess Trixie certainly is a feature that should be talked about, and undoubtedly will be.
