PHILADELPHIA SHOW, OCT. 23RD, 1905.   -3-   H. T. JORDAN.

MURPHY & NICHOLS-2-Too well known for criticism. Closed the show, and in that hard spot kept the audience in a roar every minute they were on. The biggest laugh in Vaudeville. 25 mins. St. in 1. & turned Drapery in 4.

KINETOGRAPH:)
1. SCENES AT THE STEEL MILL.
This is a colored film showing the process of making Bessemer Steel. Very fine from a photographic standpoint, and extremely interesting.
2. THE WATERMELON PATCH.
Another colored film showing a party of darkies stealing watermelons followed by a scene in a cottage and a running picture. Good comedy picture, in fact one of the best moving picture shows we have had for some time.

COMMENT:-
This week's bill is one of those exceptional ones, containing no less than four acts that will be talked about by everyone that sees them. Am positive that we will do capacity business from now on, as I have never seen a Monday audience as enthusiastic as to-day.
