C. E. BARNS.    PHILADELPHIA SHOW.    APRIL 12-09.
GUS ONLAW TRIO. 11 min. F.S. This is a characteristic Parisian acrobatic act, and no mistake. It is not only remarkably skilful, but it is brilliantly finished and prepossesses the audience even before they begin their work. Their flowered engirdled pedestals and

KINETOGRAPH. "Inauguration of President Taft." This is a very good film and was taken under great difficulties. The pictures of the celebrities are very clear in spite of the bad weather, and it shows Washington under atmospheric conditions that never prevailed before on Inauguration Day and doubtless never will again. Patriotic music and good applause at the close.
GENERAL REMARKS. This is certainly one great show and starts off the two-a-day business in great shape. The house was jammed this afternoon, naturally being Easter Monday and the enthusiasm very strong. Seven of the nine acts were either new faces or new acts to our audience, and the acts were rightly placed, so that the show went with a rush right up to the laughing climax in Pat Rooney. The augmented orchestra is an immense improvement, the director having chosen well so that the effect is great. The musical numbers received applause.
CUTS.
EMILE SUBERS. Please cut expression "For God's sake." Also "Cannot even dress her."
WILBUR MACK & NELLA WALKER. In the business with your act, please tap the lady on the arm and not on the breast." Please cut expression, "You're bashful." "No, I'm careful."
CARLIN AND OTTO. Please cut out reference to monkey cage.
