Pathe Pictures   O.K.
Worden Bros.
9 min. f.s., These two men open up with mandolins and go into a routine of foot juggling which is fast and unique. Opened well.
Sam Hearn.
14 min. in 1. Rube character somewhat similar in make up to the late "Rube" Dickenson. Tells some stories also plays a few violin solos. Went fair in this spot.
Hooper & Marbury.
11 min. f.s., spl. This couple have a new act; some very pretty scenes and good dancing. Went well.
Ray Samuels.
15 min. in 1. Miss Samuels has some very good material that she put over in fine style. Went big.
Clark & Hamilton.
31 min. f.s., This clever team were well received and were as big a hit as on their previous visit.
Little Billy.
20 min. in 1. and 2 1/2, spl. This boy seems to improve on each visit here, going over this time better than ever.
Bessie McCoy Davis.
29 min., f.s., spl. Mrs. Davis received an excellent reception and certainly kept things moving while she was on the stage, her two assistants singing some patriotic numbers during her changes. The audience insisted on her Yama Yama Girl as an encore.
Moran & Mack.
12 min. in 1. The Liberty Loan Drive just previous to these boys going on the stage made it hard for them; still they went over very well considering.
Lunette Sisters.
8 min. f.s., spl. These girls do some wonderful stunts in midair, also a little dancing. It is a flashy act and made a good closing.
Cuts;-
Clark & Hamilton- Please eliminate the word dam which you use on two or three occasions.
Sam Hearn- Please eliminate reference to people holding their noses.
