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

Page 299a

NEW YORK SHOW, WEEK OF JULY 20, 1903--2.

GYH.--WILLIAM CAHILL.--Irish comedian. He does a talking act which is modelled after that of the late J. W. Kelly. He has a good act and it went very nicely on the circuit before. He had a hard place on the bill this afternoon, practically closing the show, but he made good all right with a dull audience, and I think will go very much stronger to night. 15 minutes in one.

YRR.--WILTON BROS.--Comedy bar performers. This is a European act and has played the circuit before. They do an exceptionally clever bar act, but were obliged to cut their set this afternoon and close entirely on account of one of the men being unable to work as he is extremely weak on account of a high fever. Their place for the balance of the book will be filled by Wolf & Milton, comedy acrobats.

AR.--VITAGRAPH.--An interesting collection of views this week. 20 minutes in one.

REMARKS.--The show this week if judged from a mid-winter standard would be a light one, but it seemed to please the audience this afternoon, and as it is an extremely cheap bill and as the indications point to a hot week it will probably answer the same purpose of a much more expensive programme.
