On at 2.23, 13 min, full stage; 3 shows. I was compelled to put this act here owing to the fact that the baggage of the Bernar Mannikin act went astray, and did not arrive in time for him to open at the afternoon show. It was impossible for him to get his stuff ready for the night show. The dog act is not much to brag of. The dogs are not thoroughly trained, and are very uncertain in their work. The act would have got by where I had it originally placed, following the Kinetograph, but frosted in this spot. At the night show I have borrowed Fred Watson and the Morrissey Sisters, from the Orpheum, and I hope that they will remove the chill that hit the bill this afternoon. Today’s experience simply shows what the loss of an act which can reasonably be figured as a sure-fire hit and on which you are depending to start things moving at a good pace, will do. It threw a bucket of cold water on this show for fair.
