GEO. 2. DAY: GYH-2:-Drop in one, 16 minutes. Mr. Day presents his act in black-face, and while he has an entirely new act, with good bright lines and songs, he failed to go as strong as usually. Will change his position tonight and he will no doubt go better.
EMMETT CORRIGAN & CO.: HRR-2:-Full stage, 23 minutes: Two men and two women presenting for the first time here, the racing sketch entitled "Jockey Jones; or the Day of the Handicap". He carries special scenery, giving the showing the interior of a hospital ward with Corrigan, as a jockey, sick in bed. Corrigan is clever, and the company is excellent. He closes the act with a description of a handicap, with panoramic scenery. It is rather novel and appeals to the sporting element. The act was well received and strongly applauded at the finish.
MOORE & LITTLEFIELD: YRR-2:-Full stage, 23 minutes, close in one: Man and woman presenting the comedy "Change your Act, or back to the woods". Moore has a lot of new business, and with the assistance of a man he carries as 'props', has greatly improved the act. Every line and move made a laugh, and they greatly enjoyed the comedy.
FIVE MOWATTS:-YHR-2: Full stage, 10 minutes: Five boys giving us the greatest juvenile club juggling act ever seen here. Their work was simply marvelous, every trick strongly applauded.
NOTE: The show is very strong, well balance and the best we have had here for many a day, containing several new faces, with plenty of novelty and is bound to be a winner.

Additional Criticism: New York November 21st, 1904:
THE GREAT MOZARTO: Drop in, 3 shows, 14 minutes:- A young man, good clean appearance/ presenting his act in full dress. A musical novelty. He plays duets upon two Saxophones at one time, also Clarinets and Occarinas. Finishes with popular airs on "a one string violin". His selections are excellent and harmony perfect. The act is a special number and went big. Salary for balance of week HR-
