DAISY HARCOURT:--English Character Comedienne:-Impersonating an English working girl and changes to a refined character, resembling Toby Claude. Closes with a descriptive song:- "A Sweetheart's Visit to the English Theatre." Rather novel. Each of her selections were strongly applauded. 14 min. in one--2 shows:-

CLAY CLEMENT & CO.:- In the comedy: "A Baron's Love Story:" Clay Clement's impersonation of the German Baron is very good. The sketch is rather draggy at the start off, but manages to hold their interest right along unto the finish. A little late down here on the bill for them. Makes quite a hump in the show. 24 min.-full stage- 2 shows

MATHEWS & ASHLEY:-In their Talking Comedy:-"A Smash-up in Chinatown:" They carried their own drop which represents a street in Chinatown at night. Rather effective. One protrays a dopy cab-driver and the other a Hebrew. They open with a new line of talk which got a few scattered laughs, but did not by any means make a decided hit as was reported in the Quaker City. The Jew singing pardies to his partner's straight verses is the strongest thing in the act. 21 min in one - 2 shows

BERZAC'S CIRUS:--Four Ponies and a Donkey:- The work of the Ponies was excellent. Some of tricks are new and never seen here before. The donkey riding man one big scream from start to finish. A mighty good act. Its going to creat some talk. 15 min. -full stage- 2 shows

KINETOGRAPH: -- "The White Caps." Chasing picture.Very good photographically.
