Ted Lenore. 14 min. in one. Sang some good original songs, those in the topical line being particularly well received. Closed with a good hand. 
Fred Zobedie. 9 min. F.S. Well known equilibristic act and even more marvellous every timeit is seen. The man's development is something almost uncanny and it is no wonder that he gets a strong hand for every feat. Zobedie's paraphernalia is showman-like and helps to make a good appearance. The close of the act, when he does the back-ward somersaults on a moving pedestal clean across the stage, merited a strong hand. 
Minnie St. Claire. 13 min. in one. A typical rube girl act. Songs and hits got a good many scattered laughs, and she finished very well with a rustic dance. 
"Baseballitis." 19 min. This sketch fulfils its recommen-dations. It is a good laugh although not enough of the baseball spirit evident. Miss Wisdom is the star of the act an got everything there was in the situations. Closed well. 
Brown & Ayer. 21 min. in one. Practically the same as presented here before. both work straight, with the piano. Songs very clever and well presented. Good applause. Their line of patter is clever. Closed strong. The applause hit of the show. 
Montrell.  17min. F. S., close in one. This man has certainly profited by everybody in his line, including Cinquevali and Tom Edwards. His work covers a little of everything in the juggling line from billiard balls to Japanese balancing stunts. His blackface assistant puts a good deal of comedy in the act, particularly his crockery-smashing. Held the spot O.K., and closed in one very satisfactorily. 
Geisha Girls. 12 min. F.S. One of the prettiest  stage sets ever seen, representing a garden of a Japanese tea house. The six girls are mighty pretty, and are certainly the real thing in their singing and instrumental work. Of course, their costuming is superb and against such a brilliant background makes a stunning picture. Good applause and a strong close. 
Howard & Howard. 17 min. in one. Advance applause. These boys received their first encouragement her, and are great favorites same act as presented before with some variations, songs and patter. Always a big hit. 
LaVeen, Cross & Co. 16 min. F.S. This well known act went as well as ever this afternoon. The "strongman" work is excellent, the comedy is good, and the stage setting leaves nothing to be desired. Good applause during the act and a satisfactory finish. 
Kinetograph. "A Quiet Little Restaurant." A very good French comedy film. 
General Remarks. This is a good summer comedy musical and dance show and will please our audiences. 
Cuts.
Brown & Ayer. Substituting another song for the one which has a refrain as follows, "You Were All Right in Your Younger Days," etc. 
Montrell. Throwing paper plates in the audience.
