3- Phila.
BANKS & NEWTON:- 14 min. in 1. On at 7:27. Two men, one tall and a good singer and fair dancer, the other small and a natural born comedian and mirth-maker. This act on an early spot in the two-a-day section would wake up any house. The vocal work is good, the cross-fire talk is clever but the eccentric dancing of the little comedian and the knockabout comedy would win any house at once. Laughter and applause throughout and a strong finish.
GENERAL REMARKS:-
There is certainly nothing the matter with this show from start to finish. There are at least two out of the three-a-day section that are worthy of a better spot. VASCO was a disappointment considering his price, but there are others on the bill which are worth every cent of their money, so there is no kick coming.
Houses immense, and an abundance of humor and children's feature on the bill which are sure to insure us a continuance of big business.


and eccentric dancing. At $90.00 this act is a find for the three-a-day houses and should do well number one or two in the smaller houses. Made a very good impression indeed, on to-day's audience and received some laughter and much applause.
