New york Criticism--Oct. 22d, 1905.
--oo(2) oo--

SMITH & CAMPBELL: Conversationalists: First appearance in years. Received some advance applause. They gave us an entirely new act. Good bright lines with some excellent songs. 

AGOUST FAMILY:  Only need to repeat the criticism of last week,- that the novelty of this act is worn off and should not have been booked the second week. They received seveal scattered laughs with a very small hand on the finish. 18 nin. full stage

LEW SULLY: This man is working in white-face. Although he had a very hard place on the bill, he negoiated it with great success. His material is all new and his songs exceptionally bright. I think he gave us the best act we ever had. 16 min. in one - 2 shows

THE MEERS:  2 men and a woman: Wire Artists: The comedy end of this act is good,-something unusual for foreigners. They received a big lot of applause for their wire work, which is excellent. In fact, it is the only act we ever had for many a day that held them to the finish. 16 min. flull stage- 2 shows

KINETOGRAPH:---The Venetian Looking Glass:  Very good.
Different Hair-dresses:  Quite novel. Hand-painted. Very good.
The Little Train Robbery:  Good.
