PHILADELPHIA SHOW. Dec. 4TH, 1905.     H.T. JORDAN

SHUNGOPAVI-3-Moki Indian Medicine Man. A short monologue, chiefly about the famous rain dance of the Moki Indians, followed by a few simple tricks in magic. Made a good opener, as he wears his war paint, and is an entertaining talker. 18 mins. Rocky Pass in 4, Wood wings.

KIMBALL BROS.-3-Dancers and omedians. Two young men, one as a bootblack, and the other as a newsboy. Talk amounted to nothing, so I cut it all out. Fair singers and dancers from a three a day standpoint, but whole act possesses little merit. 12 mins. St. in 1.

DALY & DEVERE-3-Well known old timers in their familiar farce, "Bridget's Word Goes." Aroused quite a few laughs, and a little applause. Good three a day act. 15 mins. C.D.F. in 3. D. R. & L. 3 Fire pl. in 2.

ZINELL & BOUTELIE-3-Man and woman. Man with Western Union lmessenger makeup; woman with tights and soforth. An act made up principally of high class singing. The man is the best performer of the two, but the woman is by no means a bad singer. The vein of comedy running through the act is quite good. Good three a day act. 15 mins. C.D.F. 2 1/2 4 mins. Olio 1.

MR.  & MRS. EDWARD TRUESDELL-2-Supported by Robert Gemp in the comedy sketch entitled, "Aunt Louisa's Advice." The story is well told and well acted, and contains lots of good comedy. Brand new to our audience, and went very well. 24 mins. Oak Fancy in 3.

VERNON-2-First time for this man in a year and a half, and his act went as if it were brand new, despite the fact that his material was the same as last year. Liberal applause. 20  mins. C.D.F. 2 1/2 4 mins. Olio 1.

AGOUST FAMILY-2-Jugglers. Second week for these people. Hearty advance applause, and act went fully as strong as last week. Think the act will draw better this week. 20 mins. 3 Yellow Arches in 4.

FRED NIBLO-2-American humorist. Some new material, some old, and it all went good. Aroused plenty of laughter and applause. Cut: "Dont take a married woman; take a single one; you will keep out of trouble." and when audience laughs, "Naughty audience, I dont mean what you mean."

HOWARD MOLLENHAUER-2-Violinist. Mr. Mollenhauer gave us three selections this afternoon which were very much appreciated, and very well applauded. Dont think he went quite as well as he did in Providence, and Boston, but expect him to go better at night. 
18 mins. Pal. in2 3 mins. Olio 1.

18 mins. Olio 1.

FLYING RATHBUNS.-2-Three men. Casting act. All right for a closing act. 10 mins. Gar. in 4 1/2

KINETOGRAPH-
1. THE GREAT FOOTBALL GAME.
Quite a good picture photographically, and some of the plays show up very well.
2. LICENSE NO 13; or, THE HOODOO AUTOMOBILE.
While the comedy in this picture is pretty far fetched, it made them laugh, and does very well.

COMMENT. The show this week is mighty good, the only fault to be found is that there is too much 2 a day material. Many of the acts ran so long that it became necessary to put the Truesdells and Vernon on before 7.30.
