OVERTURE. Time 2 minutes.
REEL NO. 1. "Rally Round the Flag" (Kalem) War picture. Good. Time 15 minutes.
REEL NO. 2. "The Christian Martyrs". (Selig) Spectacular dramatic. Good. Time 10 minutes.

COTTER & BOULDEN. (Did not appear. May have been held up by the storm. Received no word from them at all.)
HERBERT HEFFERNAN. Went fair. A lad of 13 years in songs and dances. Will please the juveniles. Songs in character costume and changes for each. Dances, good. In one. Time 11 minutes.
THE AERIAL WILSONS. Went well. Breakaway ladder act by man and woman, man doing the clowning. Very good act of the kind though none of the feats are new. Apparatus good and act is well dressed. In one. time 8 minutes.
"SCUSE ME TODAY". Went big. A novelty cabinet song by Walter LaFoye and quartet with a half dozen local school children assisting. Preceded by "Garden of Roses" by quintette. The whole act is finely carried out and made a big hit with every body. Think it will prove a drawing attraction. Full stage. Time 14 minutes. (5 encores at matinee.)
