Jack Wilson Trio. The first part of this act is exceedingly slow and for that reason I have asked them to omit the "Base Solo" sung by the man; but after about five minutes they got them pretty strong, in fact, strong enough for the audience to be insistent for more. With the base solo cut, the act runs 28 min. Act complete, 25 min. in 1, 2 shows.

Spessaddy's Bears. I was led to believe that this was a bad act, but much to my surprise it developed into a good one, and a novelty. It is entirely different from other acts of the kind and went exceedingly well with the audience. 13 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Motion Pictures. "Getting Evidence." Good comedy film.

Dale & Rossi. Two men, Dutch comedians. All right for an unimportant place, at a small salary. 13 min. in 1, 3 shows.

Lillian Jaynard. Singing comedienne. This woman has a dainty personality, fair voice, and gets away with three songs in good style. On a pinch she could be depended upon to go on in a fairly important spot. 10 min. in 1, 3 shows.
