John Craig & Co,.: 20 min, F.S. Mr. Craig and Miss Adamowska got a nice reception as they are both well known locally. The sketch is slow and means but little although they closed to a very good hand.

Princess Radjah: 11 min, F.S. Spec. Well known dancer held the house remarkably well and closed to a good hand.
Extra! Jack Donahue gave a very funny travesty on Radjah's snake dance and closed the show with a riot of fun.
Remarks: This is another great show.
Cuts: Barrett & Farnum: Please eliminate the Jewish & K of C. gag.
Greene & Parker: Please eliminate the Necktie gag about "A Broad"
Yorke & King: Please eliminate the word "Hell"
Jack Donahue: Please do not use Mr, Grady's name in your act.
