Keith-Albee managers' report book, September 4, 1905 - April 23, 1906

Page 96a

The bill this week is quite satisfactory although I hardly think it is as strong as that of the week previous however there are some features in it which should draw us some money!

Billy Kin Kaid.  Comedy juggler. This man is all right for an opener; he does some novel juggling tricks and his comedy is just about good enough to get by. 10 min. in 2, 3 shows.

Heeney & Steel. Two rather good looking young girls, who, if they dressed a little better, would be quite attractive. They do a lively ginger act of one song and some pretty good clog dancing. 9 min. in 1, 3 shows.

Norcross Minstrels.   Same act which they have shown on the circuit which is all right to play in the three a day section. 17 min' open 1-1/2 close in 1, if necessary.

Musical Simpsons. This is a pretty good straight musical act by a man and woman opening with coach horns, then the woman sings a song pretty well; the man playing upon the cello. Following this he does some exceptionally good Xylophone playing and they wind up with drum solos. The woman is rather good looking, dresses very neatly and their paraphernalia is clean and nice. It is a good three a day act and good enough to play in the early two a day section. 17 min. open in 3, close in 1, 3 shows.

4 Welsons.   There is no denying that this is a very fine act which is well known upon the circuit, but someway or another they don't create a sensation here as I have been told they do in the other houses. Being a Eruopean booking, of course, 


Harry Le Clair.   He is giving us an entirely new act from that of last year and in a very hard spot he made good thoroughly. Held the stage to the thorough satisfaction of the audience 27 minutes. Open full stage, close with about 8 min. in 1, 2 shows.

Toozoonin Arabs.   This is no doubt the greatest tumbling act in the world and no better finish for a vaudeville show could be had or asked for. 9 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Motion Pictures.   " Moon's Lover;" very good comedy; and "Servant Girl Problem:' fairly good comedy.
