H. H. GRAHAM & CO: In the comedy:- "Forgot He'd Moved." Described in previous criticism. Woman in this act is vry bad. Act is talky at the opening. Graham received quite a number of laughs by the excellent manner in which he handles the drunken character. The business of the bed between the two men is a scream. 23 min.-full stage.

HOWARD & NORTH:
Offering:-"Those Were Happy Days." Big advance applause  Laughing hit of the show. 23 min.

STUNNING GRENADIERS:
Eight women. Scene first:-"The Officer's Quarters," showing the girls as soldiers, singing, marching, etc. Scene 2:-"The Purple Palace", with the grenadiers juggling batons, singing, etc. Scene 3;-"Art Nouveau-Des Cymbals", with the girls singing and playing the cymbals. Finale;-"The Musician Directeurs Excentrique." Between the various settings Mlle. Flor D'Allen and Miss Meredith Meredro singing alternately. Act is handsomely staged. The costumed are gorgeous with elegant scenery. Girls make five changes. Their appearances are elegant and their voices good. Act has an atmosphere of novelty to it. 
Brings up the tone of the bill being so far from anything else we ever had. All of the various characters were applauded and with big applause on the finish. 27 min

RICE & PREVOST:
Some advance applause. Received quite a number of laughs, but di dnot go as strong as on former occasions. 10 min

KINETOGRAPH: "The Master's Tea Service" Good comedy
