Keith-Albee managers' report book, November 28, 1904 - August 28, 1905

Biogrqph, 3 shows, 20 m9n. full stage--Showing the following list of motion pictures:
1. The Funeral of Hiram Cronk. Intersting
2. The Black Imp. Good comedy picture.
3. Scenes in a Canadian Logging Camp. Very interesting although a repeat.
4. The poachers. Quite a good picture and scored a fair amount of applause.
5. Pajama Dance. Just a fair picture of this sort.

John Coughlin, 3 shows, 10 min. full stage--Club manipulator with electrical effects. Handles the clubs like a man who has never had them in his hands before. Not much of an act even from a 3 per day standpoint.

Joe Edmonds, 3 shows, 13 min. in 1--Conversational comedian and vocalist. Not of tremendous value even from the 3-a-day standpoint.

Henry and Francis, 3 shows, 13 min. in 1--Man and woman, in singing and dancing specialties. The man's voice does not amount to much but he does quite well in his dancing. Fair 3-show act of this sort.

Comment:- With the exception of Stell the show before the biograph will do very well, but he was decidedly off.

The day was rainy and raw and we had a very good house.
