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

Page 122a

Helen Reimer. Local stock company Favorite and her character monologue which is played all over the circuit. Needless to say, she went well here. 18 min. in 1, 2 shows.

Foy & Clark.  In a sketch called "The Modern Jonah". A most palpable imitation of Matthews & Harris' "Adam the Second" only this is laid at the bottom of the sea. The act is a good one however and is something of a novelty and they get lots of laughs although Foy will bear watching as he is rather coarse in his methods. I cut out the line "raise hell". 17 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Jas. Richmond Glenroy. This show ran rather late, due to a bad wait in the early part of the bill and this man had a hard place to fill, consequently he didn't go as well as on former occasions. I am canging places for him as I mentioned above and predict an improvement tonight. I will be satisfied if I don't get him for a long time again . 16 min. in 1, 2shows.

Rosmire & & Doretto. Knock-about-acrobatic act fashioned after Rice & Prevost but not nearly as good. They have their own drop giving a scene of part of a ship. The men are made up as sailors. They went very well and are all right for a week.12 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Motion Pictures. Fairly good selection of views.
