New York Criticism continued.

"The Swiss Express"
The finish of the act is good. The laughs were scattered. The act close with very little applause. The pantomime will appeal to the children. Personally I'm rather disappointed, it may develop in better shape later in the week.

FRANK BUSH This man has a lot of new material, as usual. Everything went with a howl. Fifteen minutes in one, two shows.

RAZ & BENEIETTO Two men, revolving ladder. This act is not strong enough to close the show, it is only a three a day act and good for an early place. The act is alright is [if] placed early, the comedy end of it fair. Twelve minutes, two shows.

KINETOGRAPH Weary Willie Kisses the Bride Fair Comedy
Stolen by Gypsies Chasing film Good laughs
The Body of Paul Jones in Paris Strongly applauded, excellent picture.
