New York Criticism continued.

three minutes, with some excellent parodies, giving the act a finish.

Emil Koch, Jane Elton & Co
Presenting the comedy "Mlle. Ricci"  The wife character is played by a new woman, not as capable as the other, as the part is only a feeder, makes very little difference. The act went very strong in fact as strong as before. Twenty-two minutes, full stage.

John W. World and Mindell Kingston   Eccentric and character singing and dancing. The character work of World went very strong, the singing of Miss Kingston is excellent. The set contains some bright lines and scored many laughs. They open and close in one, making the act valuable. Twenty-six minutes, two shows.

Avon Comedy Four
Four men, in their laughable farce "The New Teacher" Received the first advance applause. One big laugh, a howl from start to finish. Laughing hit of the show. Full stage, close in one, Twenty-two minutes, two shows.

Chas. Guyer and Nellie O'Neil
In the acrobatic comedy "Watch the Finish" I think this is the poorest act we ever had from Guyer. Nellie O'neil looks big and cumbersome on. The place they have is very hard. Received some applause on the finish. Twenty-one minutes, two shows.

Ben Welch
This man has a excellent line of material, all new and scored many laughs. The act is a good as any we ever had. Thirteen minutes in one, two shows.

Three Nevaros
Two men and a woman, in a neat equilibristic performance .All of their work was applauded. Exellent act, Eight minutes, full stage.

The Kinetograph
What Happened in the Tunnell  This film was shown during the Biograph exhibition. Fairly good.
The Ocean Yacht Races  Good photographically
On A Good 5¢ Trolley Ride  Chasing picture, good.
