C.E. BARNS.    PHILADELPHIA SHOW.    150    JUNE 14-09.
MARTINI & MAXIMILIAN. 16 min. This act consists of various illusions performed by the sleight-of-hand man and exposed by his comedy partner. The comedy includes a lot of face-slapping and other [illegible]-by stuff that is rather raw. Makes a fair opener. Closed to mild applause.
DEHAVEN & SIDNEY. 10 min. in one. These men make a good appearance, and whereas their vocal work is only fair, their dancing is rapid and gets strong applause. "The scene in a Restaurant" is a dancing novelty which is very good and brings the act to a satisfactory close.
INEZ MACAULEY & CO. "The Unexpected." This is an amusing sketch, Miss Macaulay making a cute picture in a very artistic setting with an imitation sea-breeze blowing the curtains and palms. The action turns upon the magic properties of a bracelet sent from the far East and a horse race in which there is some surprises. Held the interest of the audience and closed strong. 19 min. F.S.
HAINES & VIDOCQ. 16 min. Nat is a favorite here. He has some new stuff of his individual kind, although much of it is a little coarse 


KINETOGRAPH. WILBUR WRIGHT'S AEROPLANE IN FLIGHT. An admirable and timely series which we are playing up pretty strong and bound to be talked about. Good for two weeks in any large city where there is such interest in aero-science as there is here. "Any Port in the Storm." Fairly good comedy with the merit of being swift action and short.
GENERAL REMARKS. Of course, without a feature like Kellermann we could not expect to keep up the rapid pace of the three weeks past, but it is a fair average bill, and with the reconstruction, as given below, should meet requirements.
Cuts.
NAT HAINES. Reference to wrapper hanging in hotel closet. Reference to "wife's mother." The business of spitting in face. Expression "Go to h---." The joke about Trenton being the same place. Also use of the word "God."
MELVILLE & HIGGINS. Addressing anyone in the audience, and the expression, "I'd like to see you in his pants."
