Cleveland - #2.

THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE GUARDS.   The first thing that this act needs is photographs. I received from Philadelphia, four of the toughest, cheap-looking, dirtiest pictures I ever saw. Mr. Homans, who has charge of the act, came here yesterday, and I think the other houses on the circuit will get a little benefit of the calling down I gave him. This act will improve at every performance. As yet, they are not thoroughly up in military tactics. They are being rehearsed every day, and will no doubt be in much better shape before the week is out. This act is a great attraction for vaudeville at present, and went very gib yesterday. There are 17 Japs and 4 white people in the act, making 21 in all. Time of the act, 12 minutes full stage.

AMERICAN BIOGRAPH.   I am running but one picture this week, entitled "The Moonshiners", in ten scenes. It is one of the best films that I've ever had. It is a descriptive story of romance and tragedy, and I expect to hold it over another week.

This show is extraordinarily good; full of comedy, full of novelty, and has but little talking in it. It made a big hit here yesterday, and I expect to do a very large business with it all week.
