CLEVELAND, OHIO.
September, 14, 1908     Ned S Hastings.
JACOB'S ACROBATIC DOGS.
Open in 3, close in 1. Time, 12. 3 unusually well trained dogs. Jacobs really is a juggler using his dogs as balls and throwing them about the stage. Novelty, Frequent applause.
W.E. WHITTLE
Open in 4 special, close in 1. Time 16. In a very striking "make up" as Roosevelt, he gives a clever ventriloquial comedy with military puppets. Good laughs throughout.
GRAMPHONE FOR THREE MINUTES.
The Banks-BREAZEALE DUO.
Open C.D.F., close in 1. Time, 11 2 good looking young women in Colonial dress. Play 'cellos, cornets. Fair act,-refined, but not very strong.
THE THREE LEIGHTONS.
Open C.D.F., close in 1. Time 19. 3 men, 2 comedy, 1 straight. Get to the audience quickly with songs, comedy fair. Their work in one is very good. Eccentric dancing a knockout. The "rag time" base ball game, gets big hand.
MISS EDITH HELENA.
In 1. Time 10. Miss Helena possesses a truly wonderful voice of great range. She sings songs that the audience understands. Her tones are clear, firm and musical. She is not affected and has no customary mannerisms of women with voices. An artistic hit.
E FREDERICK HAWLEY, FRANCIS HAIGHT & CO.
Special Mexican interior in 4, very good. Time 26. 2 men, one woman. Presenting "The Bandit." This is an intense melodramatic story of an old Mexican desperado. There is good comedy balance. The audience was spellbound and applauded at every chance. 3 curtain calls.
RAY L. ROYCE.
In 1. Time 19. With four or five wigs, Mr Royce presents his various characters with lightling change, and they are all excellent. Two of his characterizations had the people screaming, including the newspaper critics which is going some. Big comedy success.
SEYMOUR and HILL
Man and woman. In 4 garden. Time, 13. Whirlwind tumbling and eccentric pantomime clowning. Their work is very funny and highly skillful. Big applause.
KINETOGRAPH.
