When this act is working a little smoother it ought to prove one of the big features acts of the season. The act is handicapped from lack of stage room. Act shows a frontier town with cowboys, broncho [sic] busters, lariat experts, etc., assembled for the frontier day celebration. The set looks well and the various features introduced proved entertaining, especially the lariat work and the sharpshooting, the latter being done by Frank McCrea. Some Indians are to be added to the act tomorrow to lend color. With the outside ballyhoo, the riding of the various members, this act ought to pull business in a normal week. Act is interspersed with some comedy. Own set in 4. Time 20 min.
