C. E. BARNS.    PHILADELPHIA SHOW.    AUG. 8, 1910.
WOOD BROS. 10 min. F.S. Two powerful, good looking athletes who do the regulation tricks and some that are quite new. Received good applause for each one of the feats and closed well. these boys have a strong local following.
Sascha JACOBSON. 18 min. in two. This is a local lad who makes his first vaudeville appearance. Plays with a good deal of expression. Gave four selections, all of which got applause.
PRIMROSE FOUR. 16 min. in one. this is one of the best vocal quartettes we have had. Each one is a good soloist, and their ensemble work is finished and strong. Big applause after each number. They infuse a little comedy which helps much. The close was immense after an encore.
JULIE RING & CO. "The Wrong Room." 17 min. F.S. Second presentation of this playlet here. Full of amusing situations and kept the audience in good humor. Closed with laughter and applause.
GRANT & HOAG. 20 min. in 1. A new line of material, & 1 of which is especially good. Received laughter and applause throughout. Songs were particularly clever. Miss Hoag makes a very stunning appearance in two changes of costume. Closed big.
ROCHEZ'S MONKEYS. 14 min. F.S. A very novel animal act indeed, and particularly interesting to the children. The scene is a stage within a stage with a monkey orchestra, and performers acting without a human being on the stage. Laughter and applause all the way through. The most wonderfully trained monkey act we have ever played.
THE THREE (WHITE) KUHNS. This act is certainly full of life and ginger, contains a ripping lot of new songs, all admirably sung and accompanied on stringed instruments. Made an instantaneous hit with the big audience today, who did not want to let them go. Closed immense.
"AT THE WALDORF." 44 min. F.S. The same well dressed, finished and tuneful act as presented here before with a change of cast for the most part. Made just as much of a hit as the former presentation. The musical numbers and the "Vampire" scene got good applause. Just as strong, if not stronger, than when seen here before.
KINETOGRAPH. "Scenes in the Volcanic Region." Very interesting travel film, although only two minutes long. "Vineyards in Southern France." A pretty picture of Languodoc." "The Dressmaker's Joke." A good comedy film.
GENERAL REMARKS. This is certainly some show from start to finish. It was a record crowd this afternoon and every act played off well. The placing of the acts was just right and brought the show up to a fine climax. The outlook is for a big business this week.
