NEW YORK CRITICISM---FEB. 4th, 1907.

READING SISTERS---Two women with the usual Sister Act. Most disagreeable voices. Their changes are good, and also their dancing 
Good three show act considering time and money. 12 minutes in one.

CONTINUED.
SIX MOWATTS-----These youngsters in rapdi fire Club juggling are certainly wonders, and have some of their higher priced "brethren" done to a standstill. Their work is remarkable, and got more applause for their act than any juggling act I have had here. 10 minutes. full stage.
PAUL BARNES----In his well known tramp
his well knact singing and talking. Went very well indeed. His delivery and enunci ation are a treat and I consider it a first class monologue act for the money. Good applause. 15 minutes in one.
WHITE STUART & CO.----In "Paris." No need to comment aout this at. Went with a scream from start to finish, and was most artistically acted. There is a good "object lesson" in this act to show that "queer" things will remain on the Circuit when done well, for this sketch is (to say the least) very much "off." 32 minutes, full stage.
ARLINGTON 4----A very hard spot for these people to fill, but all things considered they "got by" and I cut their act three minutes to-night. Very good act for the price, but a little far down for them. The colored man is very clever, and is the whole act, but I could not change their place without decreasing the value of the whole show. 15 miutes in one.
ONLAW TRIO----Very good and artistic slack wire act. They held the audience and by their difficult, refined and neat work got considerable applause. Can recommend this for a closing act. Two men and a woman all good looking, well dressed and pretty paraphernalia. 12 minutes, full stage.
KINETOGRAPH----Julia in the Barracks. Funny film. Very good. Among the Animals at Central Park. Good for the children. Policemans little Run. Good comedy pictures.
NOTE----From Zimmerman down this is a great Union Square Show. Good Vaudeville without any high priced "non-drawing" acts. Business will be as good or better than last week, which as I predicted was very good considering opposition etc.
