CRITICISM
KEITH & PROCTOR'S 125TH STREET THEATRE
NOVEMBER 18, 1907.
JUGGLING BURKES
Two young men club jugglers. Their work is nothing out of the ordinary. Received some fairly good applause. 8 Minutes in two.
ROBINSON, PARQUETTE TRIO
Just about passed by. Grotesque one of the trio falls short as a comedian. Straight tenor singer has an elegant voice and carries the biggest part of the act. Barbaric finish just allows them to go quietly to their rooms. An applicant for the mosquito circuit. 10 Min. in one.
BROWN, HARRIS & BROWN
Only necessary to say they went as strong as ever. Soon got them screaming and held them to their finish. 26 Min about 4 Min. in one.
DE WITT, BURNS & TORRANCE
In their mirthful creation "The Awakening of the Toys" Well known. Remains about the same as before. The acrobatic and perch work was strongly applauded. The finish received a rousing hand. 14 Min full stage.
LILLIAN SHAW
Some little advance applause. Presents an entirely new act, with a good repertoire of songs. Caught the audience from the start  Finished to good strong applause. 19 Min in one.
COUNTESS ROSSI & PAULO
Rather surprised at the manner this act was received. The Countess makes an elegant appearance and is gifted with an excellent voice. Paulo's assistance in the box got the laughs. Quite a novel act. Big applause on the finish. 15 Min full stage.
EDWIN ARDEN & CO.


POOR LITTLE PIG  Good comedy
HANDLING A BATTLESHIP FLEET  Interesting
JANE IS FURIOUS  Fairly good.
