PETCHING BROS.
15 min. Spec. set. in four. Two men, one straight, one Dutch comedy. This act is well known here and made its usual big hit. It consists of good music, presented by all kinds of novel devices.

THE A. B. C. GIRLS.
Four good looking young women, 14 min. in one. This is a fast and breezy singing and dancing act. The leader is a very clever comedian. [[?]] change of costumes. Much applause

KEMPS"TALES OF THE WILD"
In one. 16 min. This is a feature which shows very interesting and very artistic views of the state of Arizona. The audience is spellbound,and the only criticism possible is that it is not long enough. The audience would listen to it as long again.

Ma RZELLA
Open in four. Close in one. 25 min. Introducing wonderfully trained and beautiful birds. This act is in many ways one of the most marvelous animal acts I have ever seen. it could be featured on any bill without hesitation.

CORINNE[[?]]
In one. 13 min. Corinne sings well, but her dancing is to my mind the best feature of her act. The audience called her back once. A pleasing feature,but no strong enough to headline our show this week.

CHAROLETTE TOWNSEND & Co.
In three. Some special setting. Time 21.Presenting "The Troubles of The Working girls."This is a [[?]], rapid fire [[?]] in the characteristic style of Helen Green. The comedy is very good,but the pathetic touches fall flat.On the whole the audience appeared to like the sketch.Miss Townsend is a great local favorite,and her personal reception was boisterous.

WILLIAM A. DILLON
In one. Time 13 minutes. Dillon is known as the "man with 1,000 songs" and he sings a lot of them.His personality is unusually pleasing,and his voice is excellent. He is a clever comedian and his work was the feature of the show. one of the best acts in one we have had for a long time.

CAMILLE TRIO  F.S.
3 man. Time 10 minutes. Comedy bar act. This act kept the house in a continual uproar by their unique and original slap-stick work which is very funny, and gets away from the old idea. Their straight acrobatic work is fast and unusual. They closed one of the strongest shows we have had for weeks.
