PHILADELPHIA SHOW. DEC. 25TH, 1905.   C. E. BARNS.

MORTON, TEMPLE & MORTON-3-Two men and a woman. Comedy makeup, straight and soubrette. God dancing, songs slow, some scattered applause. O.K. for this place on the bill. 16 mins. Rd. Lans. in 4. Set H. R.

LILLIAN LE ROY-3-Vocalist. Young with rather a pretty voice, evidently concert trained, the tremulous French method, not altogether adapted for vaudeville, however she sang three good selections acceptably, receiving fair applause after each. No recall at close. 12 mins. in1. 

THE PELOTS-3-Comedy acrobatic and juggling pair. Girl in soubrette costume, and man as a "Rube." Rather clever, though nothing phenomenal in the act. 18 mins. Farm drop, set cottage. Close 4 mins. in 1.

WOODFORD'S ANIMALS-3-Cleverwork with trained monkeys, dogs, tiny pony etc. Man not particularly interesting personality, the act lacking the 


KINETOGRAPH:-
A TRAGEDY AT SEA.
Rather sombre, but realistic, and a good film.
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
Fantastic and pleasing to the children, but would hardly do any other time this, Xmas week.

TOTO-3-A musical mystery, being an alleged automaton playing various stringed instruments to a woman's very ordinary singing in French. Worth small place on the bill, but while it seemed to interest the younger element of the audience at first, the applause lessened so that the close was rather weak. 10 mins. C. D. Green 3.

REMARKS-
Distinctly a suburban audience, and easily pleased with the lighter features, taking the others rather reservedly. Show ran smoothly, though crowd was late (owing to the weather, keeping people away) and [illegible]
rd to wake into applause, which was rather discouraging to the artists [illegible] business however, both afternoon and evening.
