ALF GRANT AND ETHLEL HOAG.
I don't think it fair to hold this criticism against this well known couple, but the jury don't seem to get them. Don't think I ever saw an act get such a bump, not even a giggle do they secure. Personally, I think Alf Grant one of the wittiest men on the stage and has always made good on former occasions, but he is surely taking a tumble here. Seventeen minutes in one.

MR. AND MRS. GARDNER CRANS..
Presenting their latest farce called, "The Other One", a pleasing comedy, full of bright lines and clever situations, and securing no end of laughs. Twenty-three minutes, full stage.

BELLE BLANCHE..
This young lady generally receives some advance applause and her work is of the top notch order, but she is not given the applause she is entitled to. However, she is appreciated. Twelve minutes in one.

THE [DEKOE?] TRIO..
Two men, woman and a midget in a series of equilibristic and acrobatic stunts that are marvelous. They have another youngster, below the limit age, that we are unable to play, and who, I understand is a wonder. However it is a good closing number and could be a headliner anywhere. Eight minutes full stage.
