of comedy between Miss Mayne and Miss Mayhew this week, with ballots slippined in all the programs for voting. Over 500 ballots were cast, afternoon and evening, with honors about even. Judgind from applause today the vote will about prove a drawing card.
ROSAIRE & DORETO. 10 min. F.S. Well-known knockabout act, somewhat improved since last engagement here. Good ground tumbling and laughable antics by the comedy Tar, who uses table and chairs in his ludicrous falls that are an especial delight to the children.
KINETOGRAPH. The Foto-Fone. This is the second tryout week for the Foto-Fone which is a fine-toned phonograph machine synchronically accompanied by moving pictures especially posed and impressive of a text, whether a scene from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" or the quartette of "Rigoletto." Considerable applause after each number. There seems to be a future in the perfection of these inventions, but whether adapted to vaudeville or not remains to be seen. From the reception this week, it seems very promising. AUTOMOBILE RACE AT SAVANNAH. A very good film of timely subject. Retained for a second seek on account of the Automobile show which begins tomorrow.
PEALSON, GOLDIE & LEE. 15 min. in one. Three men, one working straight, the two eccentric. Very fair dialect and ballad-singing act, varied by a whistling solo and some fair comedy. Good applause.
BROCK, TEMPLE & CO. 15 min. F.S. Good sketch played by clever people who get all there is out of it, although it deals with the hackneyed situations of a husband making an impromptu dinner engagement with a young lady during his wife's absence and being discovered by the wife unexpectedly. Some scattered laughs and a fair close. Worthy of a better spot.
MOORE & YOUNG. 11 min. one. Small act for a filling spot. Three changes of costume. Sing and dance after the regulation manner, but rather better than the usual run.
GENERAL REMARKS. This is a good, smoothrunning show, and even outside of Clarice Mayne and Stella Mayhew, who were positive hits, contains some diversified and excellent material. From the advance sale, as well as from the comments of public and press, we can look for good business this week.
