Fred Bond & Co.
In his well-known sketch "Handkerchief No. 13" which scored very well. His principal support, Miss Benton, has improved considerably. The other two members are very bad indeed, but the act makes a hit in spite of them. 22 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Ray Cox.
This girl was one of the hits of the bill. To my mind she is better than all the Stella Mayhews and May Irwins you can get, lacking only their reputation. One of the most satisfactory acts we can play. 16 Min. in One, 3 Shows.

Gillette's Dogs.
This act has been described sufficiently to warrant my not going into detail. The act played very decently at the afternoon show, but rather poorly at night. There should be considerably more rehearsing on the dog's part. 10 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Anderson & Goines[?].
One of the best colored teams to play. The imitation (by one of them) of a broken down waiter doing a dance is one of the best bits of eccentric dancing I have seen in many a day. 10 Min. in One, 2 Shows.

Ellis-Newlin Troupe.
This act is well known. It has been elaborated a great deal since last year, two people added and is now one of the best acrobatic comedy acts int he business and a very splendid closing feature. 10 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Motion Pictures.
