B.F. KEITH'S UNIOM SQUARE THEATRE.
CRITICISM.

THE KINETOPHONE
"Talking Movies" Here is one of the greatest drawing cards we have had and ever will have at the price. The house has been sold out at every performance with every indication that it will continue. Two pictures are shown, "The Descriptive Lecture" and Edison Minstre both good photographically with perfect synchron[illegible] of voice and action. Each subject is strongly applauded with a rousing hand at the finish. Thirteen minutes.

WALTER S. "RUBE" DICKINSON
Another big hit of the show. His rural patter seems to go with a whirl, developing into a roar, with tremendous applause on his finish

BILLY GOULD AND BELLE ASHLYN
This well known couple are negotiating this very hard position in excellent shape, with very bright patter and songs that keep the jury amused for twenty minutes.

CAMILLE TRIO
Well known comedy bar act that closes the show in excellent manner holding the house until the finish, getting the regular quota of laughs. Fifteen minutes, full stage.
