Kinetograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1--Showing us the following list of pictures: 1. The Terrible Kids. This picture went with more laughter and applause than any film we have had since "The Rarebit Fiend". 2. The Subpoena Server. Fail film but quite "faky". Alpha Trio, 3 shows, 12 min. full stage--Two men, one eccentric, and a woman, hoop rollers and jugglers. From the 3-a-day stand point, it is quite a good "sight" act. There is nothing remarkable in any of the juggling, but it is all right for three shows. Leonard Kane, 3 shows, 10 min. in 1--Step dancer. This man is all right in the 3-a-day section. I do not think he is to be compared with Milt Wood by any means. Got considerable applause. Phil Rado and Jessie Bertman, 3 shows, 18 min. in 3--In the comedy sketch, "The New Girl". Well-known on the circuit. From the 3-a-day standpoint this act is all right. On an ordinary bill in this house it would get a better position. Corbley and Burke, 3 shows, 15 min. in 1--Irish comedians, singers and dancers. This act went better today than when it was last here when we had to strain a point to put them in the early 2-show section. With a good audience, even in this poor spot, they went satisfactorily. Comment:- Today we had one of our nor'-easters, and it is also a big holiday in this city. Long before the show began, every seat in the house had been taken and we packed them in as they have not been since Houdini. Everything went with a hurrah, and from the point of strength of the sets and time, little should be taken from this report for every act almost ran over time and the audience hated to let them go. With this start, I see no reason if we do not get baked before the end of the week, why we should not do an excellent business. I have advertised it and am advertising it as the best show in years, and patrons who left the house today were decidedly of that opinion.
