H. T. JORDAN    PHILADELPHIA SHOW    JULY 42, 1916.
SELIG TRIBUNE. 10 min. Fairly good lot of pictures.
NAVASSAR GIRLS. 17 min. This orchestra in its fourth and final week went just as well as on their first showing.
COOPER & SMITH. 17 min. "Hotel Gossip." A couple of blackface boys with a lot of good comedy talk and songs. They get a great deal out of their material through clever handling and put over a good sized hit, finishing to a liberal hand.
RUDINOFF. 14 min. This is the celebrated smoke-painter and whistler who made a tour of American vaudeville several years ago. He is doing practically the same act, drawing pictures in smoke and finishing with a comedy bit of whistling. A very clever novelty act which held close attention and won a liberal amount of applause.
TEN EYCK & WEILY. 10 min. A very classy dancing act consisting of three number of a different character than what we have been having. Their first, "The Artist and the Model" number is the prettiest and gave them a very good start, but their following numbers are rather light. They, however, finished to a fairly good hand.
ADLER & ARLINE. 12 min. Their act is the same as they have been doing the past two seasons, but it is getting over as well as ever, furnishing an excellent comedy number and scoring an applause hit.
"MADE IN PHILLY." One Hour and 38 min. There was no let up in either laughter or applause for our big summer Revue in this, the fourth and last week. Adele Hassan, a Philadelphia girl who made a hit in "The Only Girl;" Bobby Heath, a songwriter and composer; Ray and Gordon Dooley, two more members of the Dooley Family, and a child wonder, Sara Kendig, were added to the company and introduced specialties, all of which scored. There were numerous new specialties introduced and if anything "Made In Philly" is better in its final week than in any previous week. It has been a tremendous success and will certainly bear repetition.
GENERAL REMARKS. As a hot-weather show this one could hardly be beaten, especially with "Made In Philly" a riot from start to finish.
