PITTSBURG, PA.  GRAND OPERA HOUSE  SEPT. 28th, 08.

WALTER DANIELS-Olio in one, 3 shows. 15 minutes. Character impersonations. Gets by in the three a day section.

GREAT HALLOWAYS-12 minutes, wood. 3 shows. An exceptionally good act among the three a days.

RUBY RAYMOND & CO.-Street in one. 15 min. Introducing songs, eccentric and acrobatic dancing. Goes very well at eight o'clock.

BOTHWELL BROWNE & CO. in pantomime "Winning a Gibson Widow. Special set, interior, 14 minutes. I cannot say anything in favor of this act. I am sure I would not recommend it at $200 less.

RAY L. ROYCE-15 minutes, olio. Just as big a hit for us as ever. He is surely an artist and went better than anything on our bill.

COUNTESS ROSSI & FRED PAULO-12 min., olio. Operatic singing. Very clever singers and the Countess wears beautiful gowns. This is their second appearance here and they are going very well.

CRESTON CLARKE & CO,--22 min., Kitchen in a sketch-"The Old Timer". A very good sketch with one very clever man in the company-Harold De Becker, who plays the young actor. Mr. Clarke was a disappointment to me. He surely does not play the part well and I am sure that he is getting entirely too much money.

LILY LENA--20 minutes, olio. Singing four songs and going very well.

THREE LEIGHTONS-presenting their comedy-"A One Night Stand in Minstrelsy". Interior-16 minutes, closing in one five minutes. Three very clever people, One of the best acts on our bill.

EXPOSITION FOUR- Interior-Time of act 18 minutes, closing in one. This is undoubtedly the cleverest of all musical act. Their costumes,instruments and singing are all up to date. I consider this a great act.

JOSETTI TROUPE- 12 minutes, palace. European  Acrobats. Among the best in their line. The act a big hit here this week.

EVANS TRIO--18 minutes, special. "Childhood Days" Singing, dancing and piano playing. Very good number for the three a day section.
