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

Page 161a

Mary Shaw, 2 shows, 20 min. full stage -- Favorite Boston actress, in the comedy sketch, "The Silent System." Got an advance reception when she came on and the sketch was followed with appreciative attention throughout. Will shift Miss Shaw and Gillette's dogs for the rest of the week.
James J. Morton, 2 shows, 14 min. in 1 -- Well known on the circuit. Had a lot of new material and the act was a perfect scream throughout. The applause hit of the show.
The Yoscarrys, 2 shows, 11 min. full stage -- Trio of European acrobats, with some comedy which is good. A really good act, one of the sort that always goes big here.
Biograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1 -- Showing the following list of motion pictures:
1. The Morning Bath. Interesting to women and children.
2 A Day in Brighton. Good picture photographically; interesting.
3. Russian Baltic Fleet's Attack on British Trawlers. Interesting.
4. The Amorous Militiaman. Amusing.
5. The Incubator. Interesting picture, especially for women and children.
"A Night in Venice", 2 shows, 11 min. full stage -- A very good musical act, and it is practically wasted in this spot in the bill.
Comment -- The show is a good one and I think with a little rearrangement we will do good business throughout the week.
