54 Dainty Dairy Maids, 2 shows, 13 min. full stage--This is an act we have been rehearsing here for some time, presenting the song hits from the "Isle of Dreams". We much plead guilty ourselves to this, for at today's show it did not come up to expectations. Should it improve I will report on it later. Arlington and Helston, 3 shows, 11 min. full stage--Man and woman, in some clever dancing specialties. From the 3-a-day standpoint, this is an excellent act and could easily stand a better spot than I can give them this week. Al Coleman, 3 shows, 14 min. in 1--Monologue comedian. Passes as a "filler". Herbert, 3 shows, 15 min. open full stage, close in 1--Magician and illusionist, and quite a good one too from the 3-a-day standpoint. His act in fact is one of the most pretentious in the 3-a-day section we have had in a long time. Comment:- The show went very satisfactorily until we can to Deagan and then we did not recover from the effects of that act until after the kinetograph. We had a very good audience, practically all seats on the floor being taken.
