This lady is certainly artistic but cannot be called a feature and and is not worth the money that we pay. She went exceedingly well with the audience but when the salary that we are giving her is considered, she can hardly be Calle every good which I would do at one third less. 18 min. in 3, can close in one, 2 shows

Ed Latell. He was unquestionably the biggest disappointment of the whole show. There is no doubt of the fact that he is deteriorating and that fact was also recognized by the audience which gave him more applause on his entrance than upon his exit. He has a few jokes that are new to him but are not new to our stage and it seems that he ought to be able to learn another election on the bells than the one that he has been playing for fifteen years to my knowledge, 25 min. in one, 2 shows.

Delmore & Lee. Novelty ladder act which I think is well known over the circuit and will not need discussion. They do a beautiful specialty and although on very late made good to the fullest extent. 10 min. full stage 2 shows.

Biograph. Good collection of views.
