KEITH'S NEW THEATRE.
2.
Their names may be worth the price they held us up for, the the sketch is worth $250. Their names may draw the difference. LET'S HOPE SO. Sketch went with roars of laughter throughout. Very good act.
PRESS ELDRIDGE-18 mins. in one-In his crazy blackface monologue. Too well known for comment. Very strong act.
JOHNSON, DAVENPORT & LORELLA didn't show up for some unknown reason, and I think we can get along without them by putting Silvano down to close the show, and stretching the supper show a bit.
BIOGRAPH-20 mins. in one-"Kit Carson," one of the best moving pictures ever made.
SILVANO-10 mins.-Gar. in 3-Equilibrist; put him in place of Johnson, Davenport & Lorella to close the show, and he made good. Good act of the kind, and although rather quiet, think he can hold down the place.
COMMENT:-A rattling good show, full of action, life and comedy. Runs along very smoothly and everything seems to fit in nicely.
