VERA DE BASSINI. Big hit. This young woman has a beautiful natural high soprano voice on the Edith Helena order, but is younger and much prettier and dresses better. Her violin imitation is just as good as Helena's, and she was easily the hit of the show up to this point. She certainly ought to be looked after at once. I gave her a trial performance here some time ago, but no notice has been taken. 12 minutes in one.

JACK GARDNER. Well known Monologist who went very well indeed. His stuff is all good, and got big applause. 19 minutes in one.

VINIE DALY. This clever little woman make a big hit with her dancing. Her different styles of dancing got big applause. Very effective. Special scenery. Open in two, close full stage. 14 minutes.

HOWARD AND NORTH. Well known act that was a big laughing hit from start to finish. Special Scene in one. 19 minutes.

HOUDINI. Second Week. Doing his straight jacket stunt this week, and have several features schedule for him. 30 minutes, full stage.

KINETOGRAPH. Washington Badly Marked. Funny. A Clever Detective. Very good film. Catching the Kid. Good Comedy.

NOTE.
Show doesn't look much on paper, but seemed to make a hit. Martin Bros, Jolson, Bassini, Daly and Howard and North made emphatic hits.

Lindsay Morison.
