Biograph, 3 show, 20 min. in l--showing the following list of pictures: 
1. The Flower Harvest. Quite an interesting picture. 
2. The Burglar's Slide for Life. Good comedy picture.
3. A Suit of Armor. Pair.
4. A London Suburbanite's Unlucky Day. Fair comedy picture.
This week's list is not up to last weeks' by any means.

Sid Baxter, 3 shows, 10 min. full stage--Quite a neat looking man, assisted by Beatrice Southwick. A slack wire artist and juggler does some lever riding on bicycle and unicycle on the wire and also juggles small articles. Excellent "sight" at for the 3-show section. Received a big amount of applause for this spot in the bill and is entitled to a much better position than we can give him.

Bary and Wolfford, 3 shows, 15 min. in 1--Conversational comedians, vocalists and dancers. Their "talk" and vocalism is very bright and they got laughs all through. Good act from the 3-a-day stand-point.

Wilbur Amos, 3 shows, 15 min. full stage--Juggler of small articles. Quite a clever chap in his way and would do very well for the early 3-show section.

Tom Moore, 2 shows, 11 min. in 1--Greatest of all "coon" shouters and strenuousity is certainly the feature of his act. Although there were only a few in the house when he was on, he made good with them and can be considered a good act from the 3-show viewpoint.

Comment: The show is a good one from top to bottom. If there is any weak place ,it is Nina Morris who did not come up to expectations, although it did not hurt the show. I was laboring under the impression that Norton and Nicholson did only 12 minutes but they did 19. 
The audience was unusually large and enthusiastic or a pleasant Monday afternoon, owing to the fact that many of the business houses are shut down, and a good report of the show will no doubt be passed along and fall in the business for the balance of the week.
