CHARLES LOVENBERG, Manager.

THE TAYLOR TRIO: Wire act;- fair act that served as an opener. 6 minutes F.S.
VOLAND GAMBLE: Lighting calcualtion act, presented with some new comedy twists. 20 minutes in one.
COLE, RUSSELL & DAVIS: In their new act "Yeggs" a good comedy offering but not up to their previous vehicle. 16 minutes in one and a half.
MALETA BONCONI: Best of all the vaudeville violinists, made a bigger hit than on her previous visit. 18 minutes; Playing in F.S. here; can work in one or two.
THE GREAT LESTER: From a ventriloquil stand-point he is the best in the business, his material is not as funny as it might be, but he made a hit just the same. 23 minutes in one.
HARRY BERESFORD & CO: In "Mind Your Own Business", a good sketch, fairly well played. 18 minutes F.S.
ROONEY & BENT: In "Up Town" scored very strongly. 26 minutes in one and hald and one.
