William Harcourt & Co. In "A Dakota Widow". After all the talk which had proceeded Harcourt, he had a hard place to hold down but I didn't see how I could have done better. He was simply swamped by what proceeded him, although he has a good act and good support if it were possible to get him on before nine o'clock. 23 min. in 3, 2 shows.

Harrigan. Tramp juggler. Harrigan had some new parodies but very little in the way of new talk although he went extremely well with the audience compared with the show generally. 18 min. in one, 2 shows.

Mme. Melich's Trained Birds. Very clever and attractive bird act. Well received by the audience and a great attraction for the children. 12 min. 2 shows, full stage.

Biograph. Presenting a good collection of views, best of which were the "Baby Show" and the "Personal" picture which has been running in New York and which went very strongly with the audience.
