Miles-Stavordale Quintette
Four men plays the banjo and the fifth a harp. Advertised as "The Boys who make the Banjos talk" which is correct as sanctioned by the audience this afternoon. One big hit and theist act of its kind we ever played. Drop in one, two shows, 15 minutes.

Chas. Ross and Mable Fenton
Presenting the burlesque "Cleopatra" Not a hand when they appeared. They had a hard place and received some laughs. Some few left during the act. At the salary and being the one big attraction, they failed to make good. Full stage, two shows, 18 minutes.

Stuart Barnes This man had a hard place, but being the only straight talking act, the spot appeared easy. Every line a laugh He was strongly encored and compelled to sing several parodies. Drop in one, two shows, twenty one minutes.

Le Roy & Woodford Man and woman, talking comedy. Compelled to add this act at the evening performance, to break the monotony, as we are well supplied with musical features. The act is the same as played here about a year ago. They went good. Drop in one, two shows, nineteen minutes.

Harry Parker's Dogs.
Well known. Elegant closing act. Full stage, two shows, nine minutes.

S.K. Hodgdon.
