H. T. JORDAN    PHILADELPHIA SHOW    JULY 17, 1916.
SELIG TRIBUNE. 13 min. A good reel of pictures including the American troops at Mexico and the German submarine at Baltimore.
NAVASSAR GIRLS. 16 min. This is the third week and with a change of program scored as big a hit as usual.
FITZGERALD & MARSHALL. 14 min. They do a series of ballads and comedy songs, some of them written by Mr. Marshall. The girl is a lively worker and builds up her songs by injecting comedy bits and imitations. They did very well with their "cat" duet, finishing to a very good hand.
EDWIN GEORGE. 15 min. He is doing about the same routine as on former visits, but his chatter is always bright and well handled and with the little bit of juggling that he does, he gets over in great shape.
HARRY HOLMAN & CO. 19 min. "Adam Killjoy." This is a very good comedy sketch with three people in the cast. The dialogue is bright repartee from start to finish and was good enough to keep the audience laughing all the way through. Closed to a good hand.
ANDREW TOMBES & LOLA WENTWORTH. 16 min. Coming into vaudeville as a team from B. A. Rolfe's "The Bride Shop," in which they played the principal parts, this clever comedian and his partner have a splendid vehicle. It opens with a lot of bright comedy talk and they have three song numbers with some dancing. They were a big applause hit, being compelled to come back to answer several recalls. Mr. Tombes is using a very old comedy song which, if replaced with something more up to date, would be an improvement.
"MADE IN PHILLY." One Hour and 18 minutes. The big Summer Revue has already established itself as one of the biggest features ever offered on our stage. This is its third week and it went just as big today as during its first week. Several changes were made including the introduction of specialties by Vivienne Segal, a Philadelphia girl, who scored a tremendous success in "The Blue Paradise;" Edna Wroe, a toe dancer, and Elizabeth Cope & Jack Figel, society dancers. The whole act went with more speed and held the audience amused from start to finish.
GENERAL REMARKS. With "Made In Philly" still the headliner surrounded by a well-balanced bill of vaudeville acts, this week's show is furnishing excellent entertainment for the unusual warm weather.
CUTS
HARRY HOLMAN & CO. Words "hell" and "damn."
