PACHECO FAMILY, MRR2 - Foreign acrobatic act. 5 men and 2 women. A good act lacking the finish of other big foreign acts which we have played. I hardly think they are thoroughly Americanized as yet. 8 minutes, garden in 4.
KINETOGRAPH, 2 pictures, one of President Roosefelt and other of the boy bandits. 2 good pictures.
COMMENT: - Without any big feature act the show contains a great deal of comedy and runs off quite smoothly. The newspapers here do not agree with the audiences. It is a peculiar situation.

The newspapers will boom a new act, but if the act is old, no matter how good it may be, they seem to think it has lost its value.
