JUNIE McCREE & COMPANY.   Mr. McCree, two women (who are both good) and a man who plays the heavy part. The act was a scream to my Stag audience, and McCree certainly is clever and funny, but I felt rather sorry for the women and their youngsters who were here; as the slang and lines of McCree's are certainly verty much "off." The whole thing certainly took away the "refined atmosphere" left by Julius Steger's act last week. 25 minutes, full stage. Special drop in one.

A. O. DUNCAN.   Too well known for much comment. Went just as well as usual, and his comedy went as well as ever. He always seems assured of a good reception. 18 minutes in 2 1/2.

TOM NAWN AND COMPANY.  In "Pat and the Genii." Advance applause. This act went fairly well, but it has been seen too much. These people certainly ought to get a new act-for while the audience laughed they showed the apathy that an old act always produces. The young woman Nawn has with him Charlotte Appello is pretty and acts well. 27 minutes, full stage. Special Scenery.

KNIGHT BROS AND SAWTELLE. Two men and a woman in an eccentric singing and dancing act that made a big hit. I was rather afraid of their filling this spot, but they went as well as anything on the bill, and I can recommend the act highly. Five recalls before final encore. The woman is especially clever. 16 minutes in two. Close in one.

COLLINS & HART.   Another well known act. The usual big hit, and had the audience screaming. This is certainly the funniest act I have had for some time and will draw money for this house from the hysterical way the audience took it. 15 minutes, full stage.

KINETOGRAPH.   FAther, Mother wants you. Funny. Herring Fishing. Very interesting and good film. Chasing the Sausage. Very funny.

NOTE.   Good comedy show that will do just as good business as the more expensive ones I have been getting.

Lindsay Morison.
