PHILADELPHIA SHOW SEPT 25TH 1906     H. T. JORDAN.
47

THE PRYORS-3- Man and woman in a little singing, a little dancing, and a little banjo work. Well known on circuit. Went very good indeed today, and will put them down the bill. 12 mins. C. D. F.  2 1/2 Drop. 1.

ATTILA BROS. Three young men in muscular posing, and heavy weight lifting. One of thee boys has a very fine development, he opens the act with about 3 minutes posing in the cabinet, the three then go into the lifting of dumb bells, balancing of heavy weights, and so forth. While the act is  little amateurish, the faces are new, and the act makes good on the early bill. 12 mins. Gar. in 3

HONEY JOHNSON-3-Colored singer and story teller. This fellow is a fair singer, but his talk was a little rough, and he tried to get confidenial with the audience: as a result they froze up on him. This town is too far south to stand for confidential talks from a colored man, and consequently I cut the talk, as am only going to use him in three songs the rest of the week. 12 mins. [?] in 1.
