SYDNEY GRANT:- This young man has a lot of new stories, therefore, scored the biggest laughing hit of the show. Drop one, 2 shows, 23 minutes.
VALERIE BERGERE:-COMPANY; Presenting the one-act play "His Japanese Wife". Clever woman. Good support. I really think the act went better than before. Responded to two curtains calls. 25 minutes, 2 shows, Full stage.

BURKE & DEMPSEY:- Two men, one straight and the other 'silly boy'. Burke played the circuit with Howard some ten years ago. Their material being old is told in a different manner and went fairly well considering their hard place. At Two hundred the act is about fifty overpaid. Drop 1, 2 shows, 15 minutes.

HOWARD'S PONIES:- Greatly improved. Very interesting. Splendid act for children. 20 minutes, 2 shows, Full stage.

BIOGRPAPH:- "The Artist and the Musician": Good comedy.
"The Ex-convict": Good.
"On the Sands at Brighton": Good.
