Topics of the Day: Not as good as last week.
Fivek & Jenny "The Unusual Duo" 4 min in full stage   Good roller skaters and made a fair opener.
Sandy: 12 min in 1   Gus Edwards little protege, went over very good at the night show.
Bevan & Flint: 13 min in 1   In number three spot for night show this act got a lot of laughs and went over very good.
Franklyn & Charles   18 min in 1 and 4 spec. This well known act went over big.
Eddie Ross: 20 min in 1   Blackface comedian went very good but has done better here on other occasions.
Tempest & Watson: 20 min in 1 and 3   Prettily staged and both are good performers, but lacks the necessary punch. Closed to a fair hand.
[Bobbe?] & Nelson: 18 min in 1   No change in this act's material and they have done better here.
