Keith-Albee manager reports, September 2, 1902 - September 3, 1903

Page 259a

Joe Morris - 10 mins. in one - Hebrew parodies. The act is only fair and he was not strong enough to hold his place on the bill. We will have to shift him. He has some good parodies, but he lacks the ability to properly present them.
Three Osnetos - 10 mins. - Gar. 5- Three men, in an elevated bar act, in imitation of the act of the Four Likens. A good act.
Allen Wightman - 12 mins. in one - Modeler in clay. Good "little" interesting act to fill in time in a "small" part of the bill.
Two Racketts - 17 mins. - Gar. in 3; close in one - Man and woman, in a singing, dancing and musical act. The girl is exceptionally clever in her specialty dances; the man has a good tenor voice. The act can be classed as a good one.
Emma Cotrely - 11 mins. - C.D.E. in 3-Juggler; good "small" act.
Anna Whitney - 15 mins. in one - Monologue and singing; the weakest act on our bill, but we have an exceptionally strong bill. Act is fair.
The show is positively the best we have had in months. It is good throughout and in many spots excellent. It will have to be changed on account of the "kick" of the Nortons; but aside from this no fault whatever can be found, either in arrangement or quality.
