-2- George H. Wood. On at 2.49, 21 minutes in one. Mr. Wood scored a most substantial hit, as he always does in this house. While he has not much new material he has blended his old stuff very smoothly and put it over in great shape. The Pianophiends. On at 3.10, 21 minutes full stage, special set. This act is in excellent form at present, although I do not think the new costumes are as effective as those worn before. The selections and specialties are bright, catchy and thoroughly up to the minute. Made it record hit here. Work & Ower. On at 3.31, 7 minutes in one. The fastest thing in vaudeville in the way of an acrobatic act. Landed their usual knock-out wallop. Hawaiian Trio. On at 3.38, 19 minutes, special set in 2. A remarkably pretty setting and one of the most satisfactory novelty acts we have ever played. Scored tremendously with all its different features. It will be a misfortune if this act splits. Should it come to pass, however, somebody should certainly make an effort to get the guitar player and either book him singly or frame up an act for him. He is a sensation. Jack Wilson Trio. On at 3.57, 25 minutes in one. Went on and kept up the good work. Wilson has a great chance this week for his clever burlesques, as the acts ahead of his afford him capital material. The act is always sure fire here. Selbini & Grovini. On at 4.22, 11 minutes full stage. One of the best values in the way of a sight act we have played this season. It is out of the ordinary run and is worthy a spot in any bill. Good enough to open anybody's show and can close the bills in 75% of our cities. Kinetograph. On at 4.33. "A Visit to Benares"--A very interesting picture. "A Trip to Switzerland." This picture originally shown here about two years ago, was used for a special show last Friday night and proved better than the alleged comics sent us for this week, so we retained it. Comment. I have no fear but what this will prove to be one of the top-notch shows of the season, when it is all here and running smoothly. It will run to-night as follows;-- Overture; Selbini and Grovini; Frosini; Pianophiends; George H. Wood; Valerie Bergere & Co.; Work and Ower; Hawaiian Trio; Jack Wilson Trio; Pissiutis and the Kinetograph. Later--The night show ran without a hitch and proved a crack-a-jack. The Pissiutis act is one of the best horse acts we have ever played, novel and beautiful.
