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

Page 89a

FOUR RIANOS. 13 min., full stage. Same act as presented here before. The acrobatic work of the men in monkey make-up is very expert. and funny. Strong applause at the finish. Two curtain-calls.
KINETOGRAPH.
1. Scenes in China. Very good travel film.
2. Stage Memories of an Old Theatrical Trunk. Fairly interesting, although a little tedious at times.
3. The Boy Conjurer. An amusing conceit and typically French.
LEW SIMMONS & CHAS. RENTZ. 16 min., C.D.F. The Black-face Comedians. Impossible.
THE LA. BELLES. 15 min., full stage. comedy Jugglers and Hoop-Rollers, man and woman. Man works tramp comedy, the woman is daintily dressed and quite expert. The hoop-rolling is the best part of the act. The comedy is rather shy. Close fair.
WARNER & LAKEWOOD. 14 min., full stage. The girl appears as soubrette, sings fairly well. The man as a scarecrow does a Fred Stone Eccentric dance which took quite well with the supper crowd.
GENERAL REMARKS. A smooth-running show that ought to pull the crowd, even after a rousing big Houdini week. Lloyd, the Fords and the dogs easily took the high honors.
