PHILADELPHIA SHOW.
OCT. 25-09.
THE DALEYS: 14 min. F.S. Young man and a pretty girl both of whom are very clever skaters. They do dancing on their skates and the young man is a good deal of an athlete. The costuming is rich and they made a very good opener. Some applause throughout the act and a good finish. As an encore, the young man does four hand springs on the skates.
QUIGLEY BROTHERS. 17 min. in one. this team of old-timers come back with the same old stuff. While it seemed new to many of our audience and they received quite some laughs, it has lost its value as an act to go down late on our bill, and at the salary they are getting, they should be compelled to go out and dig for something new and worth while.
KEANE & BRISCOE. "The Trial Marriage." 18 min. A play on an impossible theme, but cleverly presented by two people who get all there is out of the lines. "The Trial Marriage" idea does not occupy


KINETOGRAPH. "Scenes in the Polar Regions." An interesting travel series. "The Comedy Kidnappers." A very amusing French comedy film.
GENERAL REMARKS. This is a strong show and will particularly appeal to the evening audiences. A transposition will be made in putting Abeles up a little further as the act is a little too somber for a spot so far down on the bill. for the balance of the week, it will read as follows:-
A Overture
B. The Daleys
C The Quigley Bros.
D Keane & Briscoe
E Barry & Wolford
F Edward Abeles & Co.
G Bessie Wynn
H Albert Whelan
I Rooney & Bent
J Princess Rajah
K Kinetograph
CUTS
PAT ROONEY: Expression, "Put your clothes in my trunk any time."
KEANE & BIRSCOE: Word "h---."
