-3- Kinetograph. On at 10.14. "The Latest Style Airship" Pretty funny. "Scenes in China". Quite interesting. "A Cumbersome Baby." A fairly good comedy picture. Cuts. Bert and Lottie Walton.--A number of burlesque bits. Brown and Hodges.--The woman's singing. Watson and Hanlon. --Use of the names of managers. Comment. A very disappointing show, either with or without cost considered. Sadly lacking in comedy on account of which Cook and Stevens have been added to the show, commencing Tuesday afternoon. The bill will run as follows the rest of the week;-- A Overture B Bert and Lottie Walton C Brown and Hodges D Watson and Hanlon E J. Warren Keane F Selma Braatz G Cook and Stevens H "The Love Waltz" I Mullen and Corelli J Nikolai Sekoloff K Ezra Kendall L The Hazardous Globe M Kinetograph Cook and Stevens. Were late in arriving from New York on Tuesday afternoon, so had to change them with Mullen and Corelli. On at 3.33, 19 minutes in one. Two real coons, one made up, as a Chinaman, the other a la Bert Williams. Proved to be just what was needed for this bill, their singing and comedy work scoring emphatically. A corking good turn for the money and can cordially recommend them.
