PETER DAILEY:- Full stage, 2 shows, 26 minutes. Presenting the sketch "The Police Inspector", with his eight Lulu Girls. Received a little advance applause. They demanded parody after parody on his opening. There is no plot to the sketch, merely an idea to introduce his specialty act with the girls, who do not amount to very much, although look attractive. Think his name will draw.

MADDOX & PROUTY:- Street in one, 2 shows, 16 minutes. In their singing and talking comedy, "The Messenger Boy and the Thespian". In this very stiff place they held them to the finish.

TONY WILSON & HELOISE:- Full stage, 2 shows, 11 minutes. Horizontal bar act, using the bounding bed. Strongly applauded throughout.

BIOGRAPH:- Twenty minutes.
Sydney, the Clown on Stilts. Good comedy.
The Nihilists, A Dramatic production based on the recent revolutionary uprising in St. Petersburg. Rather fakey in some places, although interesting and good photographically.

NOTE:- The show is a good one from start to finish, and should prove a big winner. Spook Minstrels, Ryan & Richfield, and Peter Dailey carried off the honors, the balance of the show is good, but did not seem to go with the "Monday Regulars".
