Kinetograph. "Scenes in New York."--An interesting series. "Jim is Fond of Garlic."--Fair comic. "The Latest Style Airship." A very good comedy film, held over from last week.
Cuts. Amy Anderson & Co. The acrobat was instructed to cover his knees. Miss Anderson was requested to omit passing fruit to the audience.
Conroy, LeMaire & Co.--Cut reference to fleas. Use of word "damn." Moving the bean pot. The lady in the act was requested to put more drapery on her front portico.
Doherty Sisters. Changed the "Directoire" song and accompanying costume, and the baseball song, also some of the dialogue. These girls can do either a vaudeville or a burlesque turn, apparently.
Comment. A show that is almost entirely without class. Bert Coote and Co., the Arabs, and Phil Bennett being practically the only ones eligible to the first cabin. The others are mostly steerage. In its entirety the show would be a knock out for the old Howard.
