220 Polk, Kollins & Carmen Sisters. This act is disappointing; there is only one first-class artist in the four and I would also as soon have him alone as have the entire bunch. 11 min. in 1, 2 shows. Dan Burke & His School Girls. This is a very nice act, carefully put on showing the hand of an able Stage Manager. Mr. Burke is a most finished dancer and the work of the girls is better than in most acts of this sort. 18 min. full stage, 2 shows. Julian Rose. Hebrew comedians are not usually very successful here, but I think that Mr. Rose went better this time than probably any of them have ever done before, although he failed to make an unqualified hit. He went very well however, got many laughs, but on account of his late position on the bill, found it hard to hold the crowd. 18 min. I 1, 3 shows. Bollong Brothers. Head and Hand balancers, also introducing some wonderful feats in the way of balancing with Bicycles. A real sensational novelty; made a hit. 13 min. full stage, 2 shows. Motion Pictures. "The Alps Through A Telescope", fairly good.
