GRAND OPERA HOUSE PITTSBURG, PA. APRIL 30th, 06. ZIMMER-Juggler. Olio in one. 10 minutes. 3 shows. This is a very good act-better than any of the kind doing three shows. ARGYRO KASTRON-violinist-12 minutes, olio in one. This young lady is an exceptionally good violinist. She is going very well with us, as good as any act of the kind we play. FAGAN & BYRON-Interior-20 minutes. Singing, dancing and talking. This is a very good act and is going very big. BILLY VAN-Black face monologue. 17 minutes, street in one. This is Mr. Van's first appearance at this house in years and he is going very well. WM. COURTLEIGH & CO. in "Under the Third Degree". Interior-27 min. I think Mr. Courtleigh's act much better than Henry De Vries' and in my opinion, Mr. Courtleigh is a much better actor. He is going very big with us and has caused considerable talk around the town. I feel sure that if we had played him in the regular season that it would have been one of our best weeks. I think Mr. Courtleigh is deserving of work and feel sure that he will make more than good on any bill. AURIE DAGWELL-15 minutes, olio in one, in "old time songs". Miss Dagwell is going very well with us. I think her a very good act when salary is considered. TOM HEARN-"The Lazy Juggler". 11 minutes, interior. This act causes continual laughter from start to finish. I wish there were more like it. SHEAN & WARREN-"Quo Vadis Upside Down". Open in two, close full stage, special drop. Going very big but it is a little rough. BEDOUIN ARABS - Garden. There are only seven of this troupe. The manager claims that one was hurt in Cleveland so of course did not appear all week. They have one American boy with them who is far from being great. While this act makes good, it does not begin to compare with the Toczoonin Arabs. SOMERS & LAW-3 shows. Comedy singing and talking act. 14 minutes, street in one. Just about gets away in the three a day section. MABEL'S ANIMALS-18 minutes, wood. 3 shows. This is not a good act. JOHN P. HARRIS.
