New York Show--Week of November 23rd.--2.

rear of the stage are some ornamental streamers to which are attached many electric lamps, and a lot of streamers hang from the center of the stage after the fashion of a May-pole, and for a finish all of these lamps are illuminated as well as those on the wardrobes, and it really makes about as attractive and novel a picture as I have ever seen. They are pretty sure to make a big hit on the circuit. 23 minutes; open in one; close full stage.
YHR.--QUIGLEY BROS.-- Presenting their act that they have done before entitled "A Congressman at Large," in which they introduce some exceptionally clever talk. In a very hard place on the bill they went very strong indeed, especially after the outgoing audience had been gotten rid of and the house had settled down. 16 min. in one.
YHR.--3 MARVELOUS MERRILLS.--Comedy bicycle act, and a very strong one. It is too well known to need any comment, and certainly went as good this afternoon as it ever did. 10 min., full stage.
HR.--BIOGRAPH.-- They gave us a very good collection of views this week. 18 minutes in one.
