C. E. BARNS. PHILADELPHIA SHOW. MARCH 29-09. ZEDA. 13 min. F:S. A very showy act from a spectacular standpoint. Although it is nothing new in the dragon line, (contortion tricks being very limited), it made a good opener. The woman with Zada dances in tights, makes a fairly good showing. Some scattered applause and a fair finish. RYAN AND WHITE. 8 min. in one. Two of the best wooden shoe dancers we have ever had on this stage. Single or double, they are the real goods from start to finish. Introduce a lot of new steps, and do difficult ones with the greatest ease. Good applause. These boys are worthy of a good spot on any bill. They make a novel finish which brings strong applause. BIG CITY QUARTETTE. 16 min. in one. Well known on the Circuit. All of them have good voices, whether as soloists or together. The selection of songs was for the most part new, and all were pleasing. good hand after each number. BYRNE BROTHERS. 16 min. F.S. Well known act which makes a good closer, and went as strong as on previous occasions here. KINETOGRAPH. "Calling Day." A good comedy film. "Laplanders." Interesting travel series. "Rubber Heels." One of thos grotesque films that get a good laugh. YOUNA. 14 min. This man is mighty expert and his act is showman-like and the work sure and varied. The only objection I have to an act of this kind is that they usually go to the Orientals to get ideas, as well as decorations. Nevertheless, Youna got good applause for his stunts and closed well. This act would make a good opener. JAMES R. WATERS. 15 min. A good Hebrew and Italian comedian, his dialect, as well as his singing voice, being up to the requirements of a fairly good spot on the bill. GENERAL REMARKS. By a little transposition, this show plays very well. Business all over town is pretty light owing to the Lenten season, and a number of attractions on the boards. Nevertheless, I am sure that we will hold our own with this bill. As rearranged, the order of acts stands as follows:- A Keith's Orchestra B Roberts, Hayes & Roberts C Mamie Fleming D Newhold & Carroll E Ryan and White F "Sunny South" G Otto Brothers H Hymack I Zinka Panna J Murphy, Nichols & Co. K Big City Four L Byrne Brothers M Kinetograph N Zeda O J. R. Waters P Youna and Wardell Q Exit March
