H. T. JORDAN PHILADELPHIA SHOW JULY 10, 1916. SELIG TRIBUNE PICTURES. 11 min. A fair lot of pictures with some good war scenes. NAVASSAR GIRLS. 20 min. The orchestra is increased to twenty girls for their second week and with a change of numbers, including two vocal selections, they went over very well in the opening position. WHITE & CLAYTON. 14 min. These boys were a regular clean-up with their eccentric dancing. They work in blackface and evening clothes and offer a variety of stepping. This is one of the best acts of the kind we have seen for some time. DOROTHY GRANVILLE. 16 min. "Types of Women." This young girl offered four numbers, all new here. Each was a character type easily recognized and she used bits of talk with each number for some good comedy results. At the finish she was rewarded with a liberal hand. She is assisted by Austin Mack at the piano. NOEL TRAVERS & IRENE DOUGLAS. 26 min. "Meadowbrook Lane." This is a new sketch by Edgar Allan Woolf. It is a very good little comedy with a little sentiment in it and plot enough to carry it through to pleasing climax. It is presented by a company of four people and it was very well liked, finishing to a good hand of applause and a laugh. HALLIGAN & SYKES. 14 min. This couple has just returned to vaudeville after a season with "Watch Your Step," and they have a splendid little vehicle for their return trip. It opens and closes with a song and there is a lot of bright dialogue well handled for laughs. The act scored a good sized hit. "MADE IN PHILLY." 1 hour and nine min. This is the second week of our big summer Revue with all local favorites. The act has been the talk of the town and it started off its second week with promises of being a bigger hit than on its first showing. No changes were made in the act this week but there will be a revision for the third week which starts July 17. After playing a week, the running time has been cut twelve minutes due to the speeding up of the comedy and there is nothing left now but action which puts "Made In Philly" over with a bang. GENERAL REMARKS. With "Made In Philly," the big closing number preceded by an excellent variety bill, this week's show furnished fine summer entertainment for our patrons and was received with genuine favor.
