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

Page 243a

KINETOGRAPH. COTTON INDUSTRY. A very interesting travel film. THE UNYIELDING PARENT. A French comedy series that is all right.
SURPRISING SANTA CLAUS. This is a little play gotten up for the special delight of the children with an immense tree and presents for all little ones, including the guests from the various institutions, asylums and homes, numbering about twenty five, and distributed over the matinees of the week including the extra Christmas matinee, Friday morning. We shall entertain about 2500 poor children this week.
MCDEVITT & KELLY. Eccentric Dancers. Two boys who do a very good little dancing turn. Could hold a good spot in the three-a-day section. 12 min. in one.
THE TRILLERS. 13 min. F.S. Two men, one works eccentric, the other straight. The rag pictures are interesting and for a quiet act is very novel.
ADELINE FRANCIS. Comedienne and vocalist. 10 min. in one. Fair pleasing personality and a strong voice. Handicapped with a poor selection of songs. Small applause.
GENERAL REMARKS. This is a very strong show and particularly valuable, as a holiday bill. With the advertising that the children are sure to give it this week, we ought to do strong business.
CUTS.
ANNE BLANCKE & CO. "The fingers of putting fingers to the nose as a gesture of derision.
BILLY COURT. Reference to "castor oil."
