Waterbury Bros & Tenny. These men are unquestionably clever, good musicians, and Tenny is a good comedian. Because of that fact, it is in-excusable that they should come around here this season with the same identical act, in the way of musical selections, jokes and stage business that they have been doing for some time past. It seems to me that an understanding should be had with them before they are booked for next season as to some new material, which it is so easy for them to get. That is the only way I know of to make men of their stamp do a little hustling. 25 min. in 3, closed with about 8 min. in one, 2 shows.

Watson's Farm Yard. This act has been around the circuit and described before, and I want to say that in spite of the poor comedy of the man presenting the act, the turn as a whole makes good, better than any animal act I ever saw and will draw a lot of money. 20 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Biograph. O. K.

Ed Mullen & Dog. Well known over the circuit. Sufficient to say, that it is all right for an unimportant place on the bill. 12 min. full stage, 3 shows.
