Keith-Albee managers' report book, March 9-December 14, 1908

Page 24

PITTSBURG,   Pa.    Grand Opera House.    March 16th, 08.

BUSH TRIO--3 shows.  15 minutes. Unique gymnastics and comedy.
A very good act for the three a day section.

KIMBALL & LEWIS--13 minutes. Olio.  3 shows.  Singing, dancing, talking and acrobatic work. Gets by in a very early place.

SHACK BROS.--Athletes.  Garden, 11 minutes.  An exceptional good act when the salary is considered.

MURRAY SISTERS--14 minutes.  Olio in one.  A very neat sister act.  Going very well.  Costumes are good and the girls make a very good appearance.

HARRY GILFOIL-- 18 minutes.  Interior, in his old act--"Baron Sands".  Mr. Gilfoil is doing fair but I am sure if he were to get something new the people would appreciate him much better.

FELIX & BARRY--20 minutes.  Interior, in "The Boy Next Door".  Always a hit here.

MURPHY--NICHOLS & CO.--24 min., open in one--to full stage, garden.  A hit here this week yet I feel sure that our patrons have had enough of this act and would not care to play them a return next season.

RAYMOND & CAVERLY--18 minutes, street.  German singing and talking act.  Just fair.

BERZAC CIRCUS--17 minutes, wood.  As big a hit as ever.

GRACE HAZARD-12 minutes, olio in one.  I think Miss Hazard's introduction in baby talk is a great detriment to her act.  If it were not for the novelty of the act I think $25.00 would be a big price for her.  She is surely overpaid at the figure she is now getting.

HOUDINI--17 minutes, Palace.  We have been unable to work up any enthusiasm and I think we have had quite enough of Mr. Houdini for some time, or any one in this line.  I am sure he has not helped our business this week.

FARRELL & LEROY--14 min., interior. 3 shows.  Comedy musical act.  Doing very well.

BIRCH & ANSELL--3 shows, 14 min.  Singing and dancing act.  Good enough for the three a day section.
