FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE.
Report Week of September 4, 1911.
KING BROTHERS.    F. S. Plush Drop 10 min
Two men on style of Belleclaire Brothers and nearly as good. Their setting is fine and showy and the act is good for any show.
MORRIS & ALLEN    St 1   12 Min.
Two Jews singing Irish songs with a little talk and some bag pipe playing. This act is a fine for any house and is as good an act of the Hebrew brand as has been around in many a day. I consider them superior to Yorke & Adams or Hoey & Lee, as both being cleverer boys and some originality to their material. They are neat in appearance, have good voices and have more class than any other act of this type we have played.
REYNOLDS & DONEGAN    Pal F. S.    12 Min.
Skaters. They both present a nice appearance and make a good act of its kind.
Kellar Mack & Frank Orth.    Int 1    20
Talking and songs. One of the best. Go big.
STEWART & ALEXANDRIA    C. D. F.    23 Min
"Broadway Love" A comedy sketch two women, both nice looking, and of charming personality. The sketch is light but amusing and while the girls are not great actresses they get away nicely and the offering has considerable class. Unlike the usual sketch they look and act like regular folks, which may account for some of the charm of the act. Go well.
Cross & Josephine    Drop 1 1/2    18 Min
Boy and girl, both clever. They open with character comedy, change to neat straight song and dance, and close with burlesque melodrama. This is one of the best acts



About #2 or #3 on the bill this act would be all right. They are clever acrobats, but the act has little novelty and savors of the cheap houses.
Kinetograph. Pathe Weekly. New scenes of interest, and the latest Parisian millinery, which pleases our lady Patrons
Note. One of the best shows this house has had for some time, and with fair weather should do business.
