Report on the Scenic show May 19th. 1921
Josie Miers. Wire act with a little singing mixed in, A fairly good small time act. 10 min in 4.
Bert Stoddard. Monologue & Musician. A good comedy small time act. went good Thursday afternoon. 17 min in 1.
Ed. Janis Revue. A high class singing & dancing act, mostly dancing. Handsome stage setting in 4. This act did not get over very good Thursday afternoon, a little to high class for the patrons of this theatre. 17 min.
Most unsatisfactory show here in a month.
