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

Page 323a

New York Show, week of September 7th--2.

GYH 2--MARK SYLLIVAN--In a turn of mimicry about the same as he has always been doing on the stage including two or three different well-known performers and closing with his impersonate of an amateur song and dance man at a rehearsal which is always good here. 18 minutes in one.

YRR.--2.--MIDGELY & CARLISLE.--Presenting their old act entitled "After School." As strong as ever. 30 minutes, full stage. Close in one.

MHR.--2--AMOROS-WERNER TROUPE.--This is an act that is rather hard to describe as it is a sort of nondescript by three men and two women. The act is pantomimic throughout and exceedingly laughable. A greta many of the situations are so entirely unexpected that it keeps the audience closely attentive from the start to the finish. There is quite a lot of trick apparatus used in the act, and one of the young men does a turn of juggling, during which he succeeds in keeping nine balls in the air--something which, I think, has never been done before in this country. It is a clever act and closes the bill with a howl. 25 minutes, full stage.

HR 3--BIOGRAPH---They are furnishing us this week with a production called "Fairy Land," it being one film introducing thirty-five different tableaus. Some of the effects produced are really remarkable and hold the attention of the audience so closely that there is but very little applause until the finish, when it received a hearty hand. Some of the mechanical work, which is supposed to take place at the bottom of the sea, is really very clever, and taken all in all it is about the best biography exhibit that we have had for a long time.
