Van Hoven Here is the greatest laughing act we have had for many days. He opens a little tame, but, after the obys get on the stage it is one continual uproar. Very good, fifteen minutes in one. 
Talkes Showing two subjects "The Worm Turns" "The Master Mind" 
Violet Dale Gives a splendid performance, including songs, impersonations and a burlesque. I'm afraid the 14th. Street continguant does not appreciate this clever woman, as they do not enthuse to any great extent. It is however, a good act and would be more appreciated in a theatre differently located. Eighteen minutes in one. 
Owen McGiverney Giving us his protean sketch called, "Bill Sykes" a splendid play and one that had the audience guessing at all times with interrupted applause. Nineteen minutes. 
Ashley and Lee In "A Night in Chinatown " Held this position in excellent manner. Seventeen minutes, in one. 
Houghton, Morris and Hougton "Motor and Comedy Cyclists" The comedy end of the act does not amount to much, and there is little novelty to the motor cycle exhibition, being all ground work. Fair closing number. Nine minutes, full stage.
