(2) LEW HAWKINS: GHR-2: Black face comedian with a little monologue and a lot of new songs. A laugh from start to finish. 18 minutes in one. HARDING & AH SID: YHR-2: Two men in an acrobatic comedy act entitled "Fun in a Chinese Laundry". The act is well known. It is full of ginger and they work very fast. They seemed to appreciate it. 15 minutes, close in one. DAN McAVOY WITH FIVE YOUNG WOMEN: HNH-2: Billed as Dan McAvoy and the Fifth Avenue Girls, but that act is really Dan McAvoy in a monologue. The girls are fair lookers with cheap costumes. McAvoy is a scream from start to finish. He gave imitations of Dan Daly, Jimmy Russell and Jno. T. Kelly, and they were all received with a yell. His every move is a laugh. He went on the stage at 4:22, about 15 minutes late and held them to the finish. With a better place on the bill he could hold them 30 minutes. 23 Mins. close in one. ST. ONGE BROS. GYH-2: Two men, comedy cyclists: The act is full of comedy, with good trick riding. They seemed to enjoy their entire performance. 13 minutes, full stage, can close in one. BIOGRAPH:- We are featuring a picture called "An Impossible Voyage", containing forty tableaux. It is rather novel. Good photographically, and contains several laughs. NOTE:--- The show is good and one of the best laughing shows that we have had for sometime. Miss Herne carries off the honors, and we expect to make some money on her name, as the advance sale already shows it. S.K. HODGDON.
