PHILADELPHIA SHOW. NOV. 6TH, 1905.   H. T. JORDAN.

JULES LARVETTE-3-Magician. This man has a few simple tricks, including the egg in the bag, which he does fairly well. Pretty light, however, and just gets by as an opener. 15 mins. in 1.

MR & MRS. JACK-3-Man and woman in comedy sketch based on matrimonial troubles. Man plays drunk, which he very much overdid this afternoon, and I told him to sober up before the next performance. A few laughs, and small hand at the finish. Fair for early bill. 27 mins. C.D.F. 2

THE [V?]-3-Two men, gymnasts and trapeze artists. Nothing new or startling, but a nice little sight act from a three a day standpoint. 10 mins. Gar. in 4.

MAJESTIC TRIO-3-Colored songs and dances, two men and a woman. Fair singers and dancers. The comedian is the best of the lot being quite funny, and carries the whole act. Lots of laughs and applause, finished strong. 15 mins. in 1.

THE BARROWS-3-Man and woman presenting sand and smoke pictures, and shadowgraphs. Act is well known on circuit. Held the interest of todays audience, and are all right for the place. 10 mins. Pal. in 4 & sheet in 1.

WOOD & RAY-2-Man and woman in Shakespearean burlesque. Same act that they did last time over the circuit. Went quite well, but they failed to score as strongly as on previous visits. Think they may do better to-night. 15 ins. in 1.

CRESSY & DAYNE-2-These people are giving us "The New Depot" this week which seemed to meet with favor, in fact they closed much stronger than they did with "Town Hall To-Night," which our people did not seem to understand, as I never knew Cressy to go on as badly as he did after Monday  23 mins. Spec. 3, 4, & 5.

CARTWELL & HARRIS-2-Man and woman in songs and dances. Well dressed nice looking people. Only fair singers, but very good soft shoe dancers. Made a good impression to-day, and closed strong. On a little late however for this house. Good act. 10 mihns. in 1.

BELLE HATHAWAY-2-Baboons and monkeys. Same act as when last here. pleased the little ones, also made the big ones laugh. 12 mins. Gar. in 4.

KINETOGRAPH-
1. DIFFERENT HAIR DRESSING.
This is a mighty good colored film showing different styles of hair dressing, using pretty girls as models.
2. VENETIAN LOOKING GLASS.
Fair trick picture.
3. LITTLE TRAIN ROBBERY.
Hardly as good as the big train robbery, but at the same time interesing, and pleased the mainee crowd very much.

BROS. FREYDO DID NOT APPEAR.
