REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK FEBRUARY 7, 1910.

W. W. PROSSER.

GALETTI'S MONKEYS & DOGS: This act made a very good opener and went big all the way through. Proved an excellent laugh-getter and finished strong. 14 minutes, garden in 3.

WORK & OWER: This team had the house with the all the way through. Every trick was well received and they won a lot of laughs, finishing strong. 6 minutes, olio in 1.

HARRY H. RICHARDS & CO.: One man, two women in a skit, "Love A La Mode". There were quite a number of laughs through the act and it went fairly well. The finish was only moderately strong. Not a bad act and really not an especially good one. Just about "so so". Got by and was just acceptable. C. D. F., 22 min.

MIGNONETTE KOKIN: This acrobatic dancer fared quite well. Held the attention all the way through, secured quite a lot of applause and finished very well. Perfectly satisfactory. 14 minutes, olio in1.

CONNELLY & WEBB: In a comedy skit, "A Stormy Finish". The man is an excellent pianist and the woman a pleasing singer. The work of both was received with unqualified favor and the rough-house finish of the act was a riot of laughter and applause. The act is away from the beaten path and pleased thoroughly. 21 minutes, C. D. F.

CHARLIE CASE: Big reception when he entered, which is "going some" when you pay this town. He won a world of laughs and was a genuine hit all the way through. 19 minutes, street in one.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE: A great dramatic act that held the undivided attention from beginning to end, Most capably portrayed in every detail, Finished strong and should cause a lot of comment owing to its intrinsic merit. 22 minutes, dark, fancy.

MOVING PICTURES: O. K.
