Keith-Albee manager reports, September 2, 1902 - September 3, 1903

Page 11a

From the way it went I must call it a very good act,still I think we have had enough of them for a couple of seasons.
Frank Bell. 15 min. in one. Rube Whipple act of Way Down East. He got some laughs but the act did not go as well as I thought it might from a 2 a day stand point and his salary. I can only class it as fair.
Lilian Burkhart. 2 shows, 17 min. full stage. Love and the Ticker. Hardly as good a sketch as she has done here before, and her support is very bad. At best it is only a good act and a very short one.
Amelia Summerville. 2 shows, 17 min. in one. In stories, songs, imitations, etc. She went exceptionally well with the audience, and in my mind is a very good act to have on the bill in our houses.
Smith, Doty & coe. 2 shows, open full stage, close in one. 20 min. An exceptionally good musical comedy act. In some respects better than the Watterbury Brothers and Tenny. The made a big hit this afternoon.
The Three Marvellous Merrills. 2 shows, full stage, 17 min. Bicycle act which is of anything stronger than we have had.
Biograph, good collection of views.
