MR. & MRS. GENE HUGHES in a sketch called "Suppressing the Press."  A very funny and entertaining act that seemed to please, and got plenty of laughs.  Mrs. Hughes is the clever one, and never lets a point get by.  I have this act just placed right and it goes splendidly.  23 minutes, full stage

FRED RAY & CO---Usual hit, and the act went well, altho' not as big as I expected.  Ray is cheating on the thin man, as the act would be much funnier with a Comedian doing this work instead of an automation.  Fair applause.  16 minutes in one.

SUNNY SOUTH---Personally I can't see this act, but it made a big hit with the audiences, and some of the ensemble and rapid fire dancing is certainly very good.  the two principals are fair, but the big hit was made by the eight chorus people in their singing and final dancing 18 min, full stage.

KINETOGRAPH----Willie visits his Aunt;  Funny.  Sea By Moonlight.  Very good artistic film..  Following Father's Footsteps.  Very funny pictures.

Note-----------
Another good all round show, and while we have nothing new, it pleases our audience and I look for a continuation of good business.  I have ceased to worry about the "Big" things unless I get them first.
