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

Page 298

Philadelphia Show, Week July [illegible][-03?].

The [illegible]. Man and woman. "[Magia?] in a Kitchen", They have some novelties. Womans singing does not amount to much. An interesting small act. Very good for an opener. Man ckuld work well alone.

Al Coleman. Mimic and comedian. His imitations are not of the first magnitude. He is not bad, but is not so very good. Just gets by on a 3 a day basis.

Barr & Evans. Barr was sick and the act did'nt go on this afternoon.

Wilber Amos. Comedy juggler. Clown makeup. Small sight act that can be classed as good for 3 a day.

Folly Trio. 2 men, 1 wkman. Agood comedy sketch that draws many laughs. Didn't use any part of the old rase horse act, which in many respects is livelier than their present offering.

Dillery & Goodfellow. 2 men. Local U of P. boys. Fencing, sabre and single stick work. Booked by Mr Jordan. They are experts with the saber and rapier, and when the dialogue is brightened up a bit it will make a hit.

Cayyity Sisters. Singing and dancing act. Have burlesque voices. Just about get by. their dancing is all that saves them.

Irving Jones. Coon Shouter. Worked so hard he perspired like a pirate. Wasc not a great hit, but got some laughs.

Keno, Welch and Melrose. Grotesque comedians and acrobats. Good.

Vitagraph. Good Selection, closing with the Forty Theives.
