Keith-Albee managers' report book, November 28, 1904 - August 28, 1905

Page 187a

McIntyre and Heath, 2 shows, 30 min. open in 1, close full stage--Well-known delineators of nwgro character in "Doctor Breakabone". Got quite an advance reception. As always, a scream all through. Will draw considerable business on the fact of its being their farewell trip.

Biograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1--Showing the following list of pictures: 
1. How Jones Lost His Roll. Excellent picture from every standpoint; will probably hold it over another week.
2. The Athletic Girl and the Burglar. Fair.
3. Her Brother. Fair.
4. None are so Blind as Those who will not see. Not much of a picture.

Nick Conway and Wilber Held, 3 shows, 16 min. open full stage, close in 1--In the comedy sketch, "Casey's Visit". Might go in an early spot in the bill in some houses, but not here.

Ed Estus, 3 shows, 10 min. in 3--Quite a clever equilibrist. Secured considerable applause for this spot in the bill. Excellent act for the 3-show section.

Comment:- The show is a good one, the Fadettes going as well as they ever did on the opening day. Some of the changes in the membership will certainly strengthen them, although no doubt many people will be disappointed not to see the drummer girl.

Frederick Voelker would undoubtedly go big were it not for the Fadettes. Musical acts should be eliminated from all of our bills during the stay of the Orchestra here. One hour's playing by them is certainly enough of that kind of amusement in a program.

Very good Monday audience considering the weather and we will probably do a good business for the balance of the week.
