Trained Animal Feature. 12 min. F.S. Four black bears, one cinnamon and one baby bear. Do the regulation stunts including walking on rolling barrels, turning sommersaults, dancing etc. Nothing particularly new or startling in the act, but will make good. As the animals just arrived they worked slowly, but the audience was considerably interested in this novelty. Good closing hand. This act was due to arrive on steamer “Arcadia” three days ago, but the ship was delayed at Newport News. Came by rail with much paraphernalia missing. The act will pull together all right. Will report on it later this week.
