Presenting the political satire “The Grafter.” Mr. Carr, as the grafter, makes an ideal politician, the girl is rather weak in the act, plot is very good and held the audience very well. 20 min. full stage.
Two ladies and a man in musical novelties. Open up with cornet solo and then give some tunes in trick balls and tambourines, finishing with a medley on bells, went fair. 12 min. full stage.
The man who tamed Electricity. His experiments are very interesting, but his comedy work on the subjects is what gets the audience. Had them jumping out of their seats with the different situations he puts his subjects in, big hit, and look for it to do some business for me. 17 min. full stage.
In her new act, this is a very hard spot on my bill for a single woman, but Miss Barry got them from the start, her songs are of the right kind and well delivered. She makes two changes of costume both of which are magnificent. The audience at the finish of act kept calling for more. Made a very big hit. 19 min. in one. Miss Harry carries a young man accompanist for her songs with her.

In the farce “His Wife’s Butler.” A very good comedy sketch, full of funny situations. Three people full stage, went very good. 14 min.

Grotesque Illusionists. Made a good opening act. 11 min. full stage.
In “The Third Degree.” An intensely dramatic sketch, four people, a very capable company. Mr. Mayne’s portrayal of seven different characters very good. Big hit. 26 min full stage.
