PITTSBURG, PA.    GRAND OPERA HOUSE.    NOV. 11th, 07.
HARFORD & MANTELL- 10 minutes, 3 shows. Olio. Singing and dancing comedians. A very good act for the continuous section.
MCKAY & CANTWELL- in "Two Daffy Dills". 15 minutes, singing and talking. A very bad act; should be doing three shows and getting about $80.00.
DOROTHY KENTON- "The Girl with the Banjo". 9 minutes. A very neat little act which seemed to please.
HENRY HORTON & CO. in "Uncle Lem's Dilemma". Special. 26 minutes. Rural sketch. This is a very good sketch and went very big with our audience. It is one of the best sketches we have played.
KNIGHT BROS. & SAWTELLE. In one, 14 minutes. Singing, dancing and talking. I think this act is far from being good and I would not care to play them again.
CLARA BALLERINI- Aerial act- 10 minutes. Garden. One of the best acts of the kind in the business.
BESSIE WYNN-in one, 15 minutes. Went very big.
CHAS. E. EVANS & CO.-with Chas. H. Hopper in "It's up to you, William". 25 minutes. A big hit.
CLIFF GORDON- Monologue- 20 minutes. As big a hit as ever.
PAULTON & DOOLEY- 16 minutes. Comedy bicycle act. I consider them one of the best comedy bicycle acts we play.
