Kinetograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1--Showing the following interesting motion pictures:
1. Coronation of King Alphonse XIII. Excellent.
2. Wedding of King Alphonso and Princess Ena. Excellent.
3. Spanish Bull Fight. Excellent.

Myers and Rosa, 3 shows, 10 min. full stage -- Man and woman, neatly costumed, disc manipulators. Quite clever, and they managed to get considerable applause in this poort [poor] spot in the bill.

Marion and Deane, 3 shows, 14 min. in 1 -- Man and woman, in a comedy singing and dancing specialty. Neither has any voice, and the comedy or dancing does not amount to much. Only a "filler" for this house.

Henry and Francis, 3 shows, 19 min. in 3 -- Man and woman, in a comedy skit. This was a real surprise. The man is a very funny comedian and provoked lots of laughter in the poort [poor] spot. I think he would make good in any 3-show spot easily. In fact, I think they got the most applause in this spot of any act of the season.

Comment -- The day was extremely humid and the audience was loath to show appreciation. The show is not a great one by any means, but I think with the weather we have been having, it will prove as serviceable as any. Good summer audiences both afternoon and evening.
