REPORT OF SHOW, SHEA'S THEATRE, BUFFALO, WEEK OF OCT. 10TH.
THE ORPHEUM SHOW.
ALBURTUS & MILLAR, comedy club juggling act. Both Alburtus and Miller are good club jugglers and Miss Miller is an exceptionally good cornet soloist; makes a splendid opening act, full stage, 13 minutes.
CLARICE VANCE, she can sing coon songs very good but has never been a favorite with the audience in this theatre and does not go very well, all in one, 7 minutes.
SMIRL & KESSNER, "The Bell Boy and the Waiting Maid." Both are good acrobatic dancers and have a lively act, full stage, closing in one, 19 minutes.
FRANK & JEN LATONA, a most artistic musical act. Mr. Latona gets a few good laughs from his tramp make-up and jokes, full stage, closing in one 25 minutes.
SPESSARDY'S BEARS, the greatest bear act we have ever played and causing a great amount of talk, full stage 13 minutes.
McINTYRE & HEATH, presenting the Georgia Minstrels, big favorite here, open in one, close in full stage, 30 minutes.
JACK GARDNER, with a lot of good parodies and makes good although he has a most difficult place on the bill, all in one 12 minutes.
BOSTON BROTHERS, two very fine athletes but it is hard for them to make a hit this week as Hassan Ben Ali's Arabs were here last week, full stage 11 minutes.
KINETOGRAPH, good pictures, 10 minutes.
