Kinetograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1--Showing the following list of motion pictures:
1. Living Flowers. Quite a pretty colored film.
2. The School Boys Conspiracy. Fair comedy
3. From Cairo to the Pyramids. Interesting
Harry Antrim and Yetta Peters, 3 shows, 16 min. in 3, close in 1--Has been commented upon in the other houses. Not much of an act even from the 3-a-day standpoint, and when one considers the salary they are getting, they are all out of the question.
Geiger and Walters, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1--In their violin and street piano specialty, "In the Streets of Italy". Geiger's imitations on the violin went quite well, and from the 3-a-day standpoint, the act is all right.
Comment:- The show is a poor one; in fact, it plays off very bad. Irving Jones fell flat, Findlay and Burke just about so-so, Doria Trio, ditto, and with a dull audience we had here today, it made the show seem even worse than it really is. It lacks life and drags along.
