Gracie Emmett & Co.
If Miss Emmett could have taken the place originally laid out for her, about 8.30, instead of where she is on the bill (on account of the failure of the Mayhew sketch) she would have got by very well, but to take a feature spot on the bill is not advisable for her. All right for the money when properly placed. 25 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Lew Bloom.
Tramp monologuist. We have never had a worse failure in this house - from the standpoint of a big act - than Mr. Bloom's act both yesterday afternoon and night. He got very few laughs, hardly any applause. It was an absolute effort for him to get back for his encores and hold the stage for 13 Min. I can't understand his great success in other places for he has not the goods and i can only say that the audiences must be very easy where he has played. No more for me. 12 Min, in One, 2 Shows.

Paulton & Dooley. 
I good average bicycle act although not at all startling. Acts of this kind have very little value in providence as bicycle acts have been done to death to a very large extent, only the real big acts being cared for. 13 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Motion Pictures. 
O.K.
