Josephine Wilkinsen. This girl was accepted by the audience much better than I thought she would be. She has a very nice voice, although not great in any sense; but she has a most pleasing personality and very naive manner, which she brings out to the fullest extent, in her little "Red Ridinghood" song. 13 min. in one, 2 shows.

Mary Hampton & Company. This act is too well known over the circuit to require comment now, suffice to say, that it went very strong in a very difficult position in the bill.. 26 min. 2 shows, full stage.

Billy Gould & Co. He gave us in the first part of his act, practically the same material that he offered last season, but he concludes with the song, "The Maiden and the Jay" in which he is assisted by a partner. Although he got on extremely late this afternoon (the show running over time) he went very strongly. 15 min. in one, 2 shows.

Toozoonin's Arabs. I never saw an acrobatic act go so strongly as this did this afternoon. 10 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Biograph. Good collection of pictures.
