Keith-Albee managers' report book, November 28, 1904 - August 28, 1905

Page 94a

Carlin & Otto. Dutch act. To my mind the best of the lot. Most of their stuff is bright and new, they are good dancers, and have a good Dutch dialect which most of the other alleged Dutch comedians have not. 16 min. in one, 2 shows.

Mr. & Mrs. Perkins Fisher.
In the same sketch they have given us a number of times and although it went very well, (in fact scored strongly) I am sure that a new sketch would be more appreciated by our audience. I wouldn't care to repeat this one again. 20 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Three Dumonds. This act is better than ever by the addition of the lady, replacing a former man,-and although the show was running quite late it scored a decided hit. 20 min. in one, 2 shows.

Troba. Juggler. This man does some good work but he lacks finish and after having seen Cinquevalli, Spadoni and others of that class this man does not happen at all. Of course, he does not get the salary, and had I a show in which I could put him on not later than 8:30, he would be all right, but he hasn't the strength to finish the bill and I haven't anything else to put down there. 17 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Biograph. Usual collection of views.
