C. E. BARNS.    PHILADELPHIA SHOW.    JULY 10, 1911.
PROLOGUE. By Frank Dumont.
ALLEN & CLARK. 14 min. F.S. Big advance hand. A little of everything and all good, including instrumental work on accordeon, bells, trombone, etc., with a lot of conundrums in the old style, winding up with acrobatic stunts. Made a fine opener for Old Timers Week, and closed immense.
FOX & WARD. 15 min. in one. Introducing a lot of old time stuff and a lot of modern hits. Received advance applause and went strong all the way through.
LOTTIE GILSON. 19 min. in one. Miss Gilson was warmly received and sang two new songs, followed with her old timers, ending with a little speech and "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley" as an encore. Closed very strong.
MR. & MRS. THORNE. 25 min. F.S. This sketch of the old time variety went very well, holding the interest of the audience throughout with occasional applause and laughter. Closed with a big hand.
MRS. ANNIE YEAMANS. 11 min. in one. Her entrance on the stage was greeted with prolonged applause; in fact, she could not start for some little time. Made a nice, little speech and then proceeded to her songs and stories, all of which were warmly applauded. Gave as an encore "The Mulligan Guard" and closed to an immense hand.
GUS WILLIAMS. 17 min. in one. Big advance hand. Gave an interesting talk with a lot of fun. Sang some songs that were new and some of the old days. Received a big reception and closed very strong.
TOM NAWN & CO. "One Touch of Nature." 22 min. F.S. Tom is a great favorite here, and in his old time sketch was thoroughly appreciated and well applauded throughout. The roller skating finish brought him a big hand.
HUGHEY DOUGHERTY. 17 min. in one. Prolonged applause. Gave one of his characteristic talks. Introduced a lot of old stuff and plenty that was new and local, in his own individual manner. Big laughter throughout. Closed big with the "Evaleena" song.
MAGGIE CLINE. 18 min. in one. Miss Cline never made a bigger hit in her life in this house than this afternoon. From the big advance applause to the stormy finish, she received a genuine ovation. Every one of her songs punctuated with clever, little speeches, got the audience strong and her finishing song, "Nobody's Go Anything On Me" (in which Tom Nawn assisted her to make a big finish), closed the act. She was recalled several times to give the "McCloskey" number, but was too exhausted from the heat and made a nice, little speech of regret. Held this hard spot in great shape.
"AFTERPIECE." 14 min. F.S. This is a hodge-podge of minstrel nonsense, put on by Mr. Dumont, and was certainly very funny. It was quite a break from our usual Motion Picture finish. At the close of the "Afterpiece," all the cast came out on the stage and everybody sang "Auld Lang Syne."
GEN. REM. If the enthusiasm of a light house this afternoon is any prediction as to our audiences for the balance of the week (Providing we have normal conditions) there will be standing room only. The heat wave promises to break, and if so, we will do a record-breaking business.
