Page 298a

Philadelphia Show. Week July 20-03.
(Continued)
(The applause started here)
3 Westons. Sam Weston and the two girls. They are artists. Were received with much applause. The act is new to our audience, and practically no one knew our couldd discover that the man was blind.
Parros Bros. 2 men. Head and hand balancers. excellent. A greatv of its kind. Went strong.
Dillon Bros. The best parody singers on the vaudeville stage. Made a hit 
Winchell, Smith & Co. 3 men and a woman. Sketch "A Friend in Need", Not a brilliant affair. Women and children are not amused at a drunken 10 minute dialogue on a darkened stage. To a man the sketch is not bad, There is nothing repulsive - nothing refined in it.
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 Thieves.
