GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURGH, PA. JOHN P. HARRIS.
FEBRUARY 24th, 1913.

MARY BARLEY'S BULLDOG MUSIC HALL. Special- Full Stage. 8 minutes. I cannot see any merit to this act at all. It just about gets by opening the show.

HARRY ATKINSON. Olio. 13 minutes. Monologue of Nursery Rhymes, introducing his imitations of Musical Instruments. Mr. Atkinson is undoubtedly the best in his line. He is going very well in this place on the bill.

JULIA NASH & CO. Interior. 15 minutes. "Her First Case." Miss Nash is a very fair actress. Her supporting company is very bad. However, the sketch is really clever and for this reason it gets by.

ROMANO & BRUIGLIO. Street in one. 18 minutes. "The Harp Soloist and the Violinist." Very good musicians and do very well to later than No. 4 on the bill.

W. C. FIELDS. Interior, closing in One 3 minutes. Original Tramp Juggler. We have played Mr. Fields a great many times and he has never failed to make good. He is undoubtedly the best comedy juggler in the business.

IRENE FRANKLIN. Interior. 25 to 30 minutes. A big hit with kostly [mostly] new songs.

FOUR ENTERTAINERS. Olio in One. 12 minutes. These four men have excellent voices. While there is not a great deal of comedy in the act, their singing is a big hit.

FIELDS & LEWIS. 18 minutes. Garden in two, close in one. Presenting "The Misery of a Hansom Cab." This is the third engagement for this act. They are going very big, next to closing.

ALPHA TROUPE. Exterior. 9 minutes. Hoop Rollers. A very good act of the kind. Is very attractive and fast.

KINEMACOLOR. "East and West."
