New York Criticism July 10th,1905.

Joe Edmunds
Eccentric character comedian. This man's material is very ancient, his singing only fair, he just about fits in this place. Thirteen minutes in one, three shows.

Madeline Diston
Singing comedienne. This woman's voice does'nt amount too very much, her selections were very bad. Her closing burlesque German song just about saves her. Eleven minutes in one, three shows.

The Beanos
"The Contortionist and the Clown" Man and woman, who do some pretty fair contortion work. The act is alright for an early place. Fifteen minutes, full stage, three shows.

Hawthorne and Burt
Two men, Hebrew comedians. One straight and the other in character. First time here. Good material and all new. Laughs throughout. Good voices and excellent dancers. Hit of the show up to this time, will try and give them a better place. Seventeen minutes in one, three shows.

The Kalmos
Novel dancers. Very pleasing dancing act. Ten minutes full stage, three shows.

Barry & Wolford
Man and woman, vocalists and conversational comedians. Make a very pleasing appearance, their voices good, with excellent material. Laughs throughout the entire act. Fourteen minutes in one, three shows.

Raynora Dogs
Performing Bull terriers. Greatly improved since last here. Interesting throughout with a number of laughs. Nine minutes full stage, two shows.

Toby Claude
Singing character comedienne. Received some advance applause. Elegant appearance. Sings one song straight and two in character, each selection strongly applauded. Fourteen minutes in one, wto shows.

Sherman and DeForest
in the comedy "The Fall of Poor Arthur" well known Went fully as strong as before, securing a big lot of laughs. Seventeen minutes, full stage, close in one, about three minutes. Two shows.

Jas. Richmond Glenroy
"The man with the green gloves" This man went as strong as any other act on the programme. Eighteen minutes in one, wto shows.

Colonial Septette
Four men and three women, in "An Olde Tyme Hallowee in three scenes. Elegant scenery, grand costumes. The best musical act we ever had, three encores on the finish. Twenty-nine minutes, with five minutes in one, two shows.

Brothers Damm
Eccentric Acrobats. These boys are working without the wall and basket, using a plain stage. The set is alright and I think fully as good. Eight minute full stage.

Biograph
The Bad Lodgers     Good
The Haunted House Boat  Good comedy
Childish tricks baffled     Good
A Pleasure Trip     Good
Mr. Dauber and His Whimsical Picture-Good.

The show is a good one and as strong as any mid-winter bill we ever had.
