Elmer Tenley. On at 3.11, 14 min, in 1. Tenley has quite an amount of new material and is going very well.

Gillett's Dogs. On at 3.25, 18 min; open in 2 6 min, close in full stage, 7 min. This act is too well-iknown to require extended notice. The dogs worked a little roughly Monday, as the act has been laying off for some time, but they are going all right now.

Cooper & Robinson. On at 3.43, 20 min, in 1. I consider their act on a par with that of Avery & Hart, better in some respects, as Robinson's comedy work is unique and a copy of nobody. In common with most colored acts, they are inclined to stay on the stage too long. I think they would improve their act by cutting it down to about 15 min, as they could get all the fat out of it in that time.

Gabriel & Co. On at 4.03, 28 min, full stage. Simply a riot. The greatest act for the children that vaudeville has ever known. 

Kinetograph. On at 4.31, 20 min. "The Night Before Christmas", second week. "Off for the Holidays", a very good comic film.

Mr. & Mrs. Cal Stewart. On at 4.51, 20 min, in 2; 3 shows. I think that this act would get by in an early spot in any bill. It is a great time act for the continuous houses.

NOTE:- Count De Butz  Bro., a very good comedy bicycle act, with a particularly good finish for an act of the kind were in the bill on Monday, but were sent to Lawrence on Tuesday, on account of trouble with the bill there, and we could spare them.

Cuts:-
Kenny & Hollis. Cut "Masculine or feminine?"  "I don't know, I never studied cube root".
Seymour & Hill. Shooting bug or mouse on leg.
Elmer Tenley. Change word liver.

Comment. A very, very good holiday show, in fact it would only require a couple of changes to mkae it absolutely ideal.
