PHILADELPHIA SHOW, JUNE 12TH'05.   2.  H. A. DANIELS.

CLAYTON WHITE & MARIE STUART CO.-MHR-2-Presenting for the second time here their latest sketch, "Paris." In other hands the sketch might prove suggestive in spots. To the broadminded patron, it's a good, hearty laugh, although I believe we received a sharp letter from a Quaker deacon the last time the sketch was presented here. A very good act. White's cleverness in the character he portrays is really remarkable. 29 mins. Fancy in 3.

GEO. EVANS-SRR-2-Blackface monologue and songs. Received advance applause on his entrance. Personality seems to be the keynote of his great success. The same stuff in other  hands would fall flat. There is no question about his ability to "make good," but there are a number of acts that can turn the trick at less money, and it would seem that this man is getting all the money he is worth, especially when one considers that a dress suitcase constitutes his "excess" baggage and he has no "company" to pay. This is his third trip here in ten months. A very good act. Probably the applause hit of the show. 30 mins, in one.

KENO, WALSH & MELROSE-YYH-2-Comedy acrobatic act, two men working straight, other as comedian. Very lively act and proved an excellent closing number for a good strong bill. 11  ins. Landsc. in 4.

BIOGRAPH-THE CHRYSTAL CASKET, Good magic; THE BIGAMIST, Good chasing picture; HOW MIKE GOT SOAP IN HIS EYES, Fair comedy; A SEASHORE BABY, Pleasing; AUGUST, the MONK, Funny.
