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

Page 202a

Biograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1-- Showing the following list of interesting and comedt motion pictures:
1. The Bigamist. Excellent motion picture of the Pursuit order.
2. The Crystal Casket. Excellent film of this ort.
The Deadwood Sleeper. Excellent picture of the comedy order.
This list of pictures is by far the best we have received in months. They were laughed at all through.
The Gagnoux, 3 shows, 15 min. full stage-- Young man and woman, neatly costumed, carrying handsome apparatus; hand and foot juggler and balancers. Quite a pretty act which could easily go in a much better spot than we can give them in this bill.
Leo Carrillo, 3 shows, 12 min. in 1-- In imitation of barnyard fowl and a chinaman. Quite a clever entertainer in his way. Does very well for an early 3-show act.
Chefalo, 3 shows, 15 min. in 3-- Magician and illusionist. His tricks are all right, but like all magicians he failed in a couple today and his work was somewhat crude. Will undoubtedly be going more smoothly in the next show.
Willy and Edith Hart, 3 shows, 11 min. in 1-- Man and woman in singing and dancing specialties. Prettily costumed act and one which could go in a much better place in the bill than I can give them.
Comment: The show is a good one and well balanced; if we have any kind of weather, there is no reason whatever but we shall do a good business. We had a fair Monday audience today considering that it was probably the hottest day of the year. 
I booked Chefalo because I found we needed a little time in the supper show.
