Keith-Albee managers' report book, February 4-September 9, 1907

Page 15a

THREE KEATONS-----Advance applause. Usual laughing hit. Altho from exclamations heard from time to time from the down stairs ladies, there were many in the audience felt sorry for "Buster. The introduction of the baby "Jingles" is not in good taste, and I know it offended many of the audience, so I cut it out to-night.15 minutes, full stage. Close in one.

POLLY PICKLES PETS----This act is too well known to need much comment, but I may say I have never seen so much good detail work and good stage Management put into a Vaudeville sketch before. The woman who plays Polly is very good, and the men who do the Parrot Cat, Dog and Bear are simply great. For a novelty it beats anything on the circuit, and altho'very expensive, I think it is worth the money. 22 minutes, full stage. Special Scenery.

MAYME REMINGTON & PICKS---Very hard spot for her, especially as she was suffering from a terrible cold. However, she held the spot up all right, and the Picksk got considerable laughter, Good acgt. 10 minutes. Two and one. Special drop for Indian song.

THE ARIBOS---Two men equilibrium and acrobatic act. Very good, and a novelty. Got big applause, and held the audience till the finish. 9 minutes, full stage.

KINETOGRAPH----
"Two Little Scamps." Very funny.
"Cavalry Exercises." Splendid film and received applause.
"Difficult Arrest." Good.

NOTE--------
Very good holiday show, and I look for a very big week on account of "Polly Pickles" drawing the children, but it is too expensive a show for me.
