KINETOGRAPH: "Dear Boys Home for the Holidays":- An English series, of Eton lads, playing practical jokes. Rather good, but too obviously acted.
The Silver Wedding:-Story of thieves and their life, with a robbery of wedding presents and a chase by detectives through the dives of New York and the final capture in a sewer. Spirited, with a rattling good close and finish.
Rarebit Fiend:-Same as las week.
CAREW & HAYES,-15 min. in 3, Close in 1. 3 shows. "Lady Slavey" and "The Derby Race". First sketch rather below the standard, both in matter and rendition, at times rather coarse. Second sketch in costume of jockey and youth who follows the ponies, better from all standpoints, using a special drop and otherwise making their act attractive. Fair for a three-a-day, during the supper show, and these people will scarcely reach a higher place on the bill.
GENERAL REMARKS:- One of the best bills that we have had in many weeks. The Fadettes give the entire program the standard of refinement excellence, the comedy acts are good, and the two acrobatic features all one could wish to make up a distinct and indivudual as well as popular bill. It was a rainy day, and yet the house was filled to capacity on all floors, and the enthusiasm was very flattering and full of promise for the balance of the week. It was found necessary to make a shift in the bill so that the Fadettes could go down a little later, with the proper people to set them and to follow. The order is thus:
Carew & Hayes.....6.52
Morton & Diamond.....6.48
J. & 2. Barrows.....7.05
Adams & Mack.....7.13
Frank Bell.....7.30
Keith's Orchestra.....7.44
De Mar & Fortune.....7.44
Mareena, Nevarro, & M.....8.03
Carter & Bluford.....8.15
The Fadettes.....8.30
Bobby North.....9.03
Barrows-Lancaster Co......9.20
Quinlan & Mack.....9.45
Six Proveannies.....10.01
Kinetograph.....10.15
