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

Page 108a

WORMWOOD'S DOGS. 20 mts. Full Stage. Eight monkeys and ten dogs from Great Dane to the tinest poodle, and all well trained. The comedy work of the monkeys got constant laughter. An act for children that could not be surpassed. The finish with the bicycle-riding monkeys and dog race is a scream.
KINETOGRAPH. A Family of Cats. Rather interesting for the women and children. II. A Sentimental Burglar. Rather overdrawn melodramatic series of pictures but with a fairly  picturesque setting and good climax. III Curious Mr. Curio. A fair comedy series. Kinetograph altogether just about gets by this week.
THE REESE BROTHERS. Acrobatic Novelty. A regulation act including some dancing, some musket and sticks. The vocal work does not amount to much but the rest of the act gets by in an obscure spot. 13 mts. in one.
GARTELLE BROTHERS. "Skatorialism." This is a very amazing act and with a little variation could hold a much better spot. As it is, it is very laughable and winds up with some good dancing on the roller-skates. One man works straight, the other eccentric coon. 10 mts. in two.
GENERAL REMARKS. This is a good average summer show. Eva Taylor made a decided hit as well as Wormwoods Animals. The weather continues to be fiercely warm.
