New York Show, Week of October 19th--2.

GNH--2--HOEY & LEE.--Hebrew comedians. This is practically a new team so far as vaudeville is concerned. They have been in combination for the past year or so, but so far this house this house is concerned they are way ahead of York & Adams, and at about half of the price. They have entirely new parodies and a good line of comedy talk which held the audience closely from the start to the finish. 16 minutes in one.

RYAN & RICHFIELD--YGR - 2 - Presenting their act by Will Cressy entitled "Meg Haggerty's Father." It is the same bit of artistic work which Ryan has always given us and went strong. They were a little later than their schedule this afternoon, which did not give them the opportunity which they should have had, but they will be placed all right to night. 25 minutes, full stage.

YRR 2--PRESS ELDRIDGE.--Press has a lot of new material and also introduced some old talk and went about as well as I have ever seen him go in the house. 18 minutes in one.

YRR.--Robertus & Wilfrido. Two men in an act which consists largely of juggling with rubber balls, with which they do some very remarkable work. They also have a little dog who is quite intelligence and makes a pleasing portion of the act. It is one of those turns that the audience will not enthuse over to any great extent, but which is thoroughly enjoyable throughout. 12 minutes, full stage.

HR 3 --BIOGRAPH.-- Very good selection of views this week. 18 minutes in one.
