H. T. JORDAN    PHILADELPHIA SHOW    AUGUST 30, 1915.
HEARST SELIG PICTURES. 13 min. Several interesting news pictures in the series.
LO-VE & WILBUR. 7 min. A very pretty and elaborately staged act on the flying rings by a man and woman. They do a few tricks but all of them are well done and the at goes a long way on appearance.
BURNS & LYNN. 12 min. Two young men, neatly costumed, in a straight dancing act with two songs and a little talk. The boys are very good dancers and were well liked.
CHAUNCEY MONROE & CO. "A Business Proposal." 18 min. First rate comedy sketch that kept the audience laughing from start to finish. It was formerly used by Jack Kennedy and Company and in the making over the low comedy part is made the principal role. It scored solidly as a laugh-winner.
LYDIA BARRY. 23 min. With several new songs she proved a big hit with each number. She works in a lot of clever talk and comedy business which were good for laughs. Also wears several handsome costumes and finished to a big hand of applause.
MAZIE KING & TYLER BROOKS. 15 min. A dancing act in which Miss King does all the dancing on her toes assisted by Mr. Brooks in a series of original and novelty numbers, closing with a military number which took them off to a big hand. The novelty of the act is in the toe dancing by Miss King which is of the highest class and they finished to a good hand.
QUINN & MITCHELL. 16 min. "The Phoney Bluff Gold Mine." This is a new act offered by the team that formerly did the "Lemon City" act and it is along the same lines. With some good dialogue it got laughs and has a comedy finish which took them off to a fair amount of applause.
VICTOR MORLEY & CO. 26 min. "A Regular Army Man." A tabloid musical comedy with three male and one female principals supported by a company of eight male voices. There is a comedy story with plenty of action and lines which got good laughs, some excellent singing, especially that of the male chorus. It closed to a good hand.
DEIRO. 12 min. The Master Piano-Accordionist. Was the applause hit of the show in the next-to-closing position. He played classical and popular music, each number being greeted with a round of applause and he finished strong.
LOYAL'S POODLES. 11 min. Featuring "Toque" the somersaulting poodle. The best dog act of its kind we have had and in the closing position it not only held them seated, but finished to a big hand of well-deserved applause.
GENERAL REMARKS. A very good show from start to finish, plenty of variety and comedy and a good sight act to close. Was well liked and an applause-winner.
