Page 96a

THE SEVEN YIULIANS. 9 min. Full Stage. All that has been said about this act is thoroughly justified. It is one of the most skilful and swift-moving acrobatic acts ever seen on any stage. The four little boys are as much wonders in their line, as the four older performers. The act is finished and quite Frenchy in favor. The risley portion of the act is particularly expert. Big applause throughout and the strong finish. Would make a grand closing act for any house.
KINETOGRAPH. "The Idler. A very amusing comedy film, full of surprises.
"Excursion to Kilarney." A good traveling film.
Kinetograph features O. K. this week.
THE SHELLY TRIO. 17 min. open in one, goes to Full Stage, closes in one. For a juvenile act, this is one of the best. The singing is not so strong, but the dancing is really remarkable in children so young. Of course the friends of these little people were present in goodly numbers and helped to give them a good reception which they deserved. Daintily costumed and altogether worthy of encouragement.
THE LA VELLES. 16 min. Full Stage  Another dancing act, but of quite a different order, though possessing a good deal of merit. The tough "spiel" was very amusing  Closed well.
SHEWBROOK & BERRY. Travesty and songs. 12 min. in one. Too good an act for so obscure a spot. The little midget has a remarkable voice, and a genuine sense of humor. Could make good in the early two-a-day section without doubt. Doubled up with a male midget like Ernest Rommell, for instance, would make a genuine hit.
