Keith-Albee managers' report book, December 28, 1908 - October 18, 1909

of her songs was light and not enough at the conclusion of her third number to bring her back to sing the fourth, as programmed.
FOUR FORDS. 17 min. open F.S. Well known act. Went just as strong as ever. Great favorites here, always welcome. Strong applause throughout.
BELLCLAIR BROTHERS. 11 min. in one. There is no discounting the fact that this is one of the best strong-men acts in the business. Every time they come back to us, they seem to make a bigger hit, although their act remains unchanged. Holds a difficult spot with entire credit.
CLARENCE WILBUR AND TEN FUNNY FOLKS. 31 min. close in one. This act has improved since its last appearance here. The girls are quite pretty, and sing very well. The comedy is better than before, and altogether the act held the closing spot all right. Closed well.
KINETOGRAPH. "The Football Fiend." A lot of good comedy. "Rhe Sponge Fishers of Cuba." A very interesting travel film.
MR. & MRS. STUART DARROW. 15 min. F.S. This is a good act, the shadow pictures being particularly humorous. Laughter and applause throughout and closed well.
LEROY. 10 min. in one. Female impersonator, having a rather remarkable voice. Sang three songs to a fair hand.
MARVELLOUS MELLS. 12 min. F.S. Man and woman doing regulation stunts on the suspended rings. Make a good appearance. Man is powerful and does some novel feats. Fair applause. Would make a good opener for the smaller houses.
GENERAL REMARKS. There is excellent material in this show and it will undoubtedly draw business. For the balance of the week, we will close with the dogs and this will give us a chance to put the Darrows up into the body of the show, where they belong.
