Type:

2 shows, 25 min, full stage. Can close in 1 if necessary. This man presented one of the most interesting and humorous acts that we have had in this house for an age and it may develop throughout the week that he will do strong that we shall be obliged to continue him for the balance of a fortnight. It is the biggest thing in the shape of a trail act we have ever had here. (Supplementary report) I wish to add to the report of yesterday that this man has certainly made the biggest hit scored in this house for a long time, and the quality of the audience last night demonstrated the fact that he draws the best people, as our higher price seats filled first, while reverse has been the case for several weeks past. His work is unusually interesting, and I never saw an audience give such undivided attention to anybody, from the topmost seat in the Balcony to the Orchestra floor. Not only is his material of interest but it is highly humorous in spots, and one of the contributions to vaudeville that is such a novelty that it becomes talked about by everybody. While I have no doubt that he would draw even better next week than this, I will wait until the later part of the week before finally deciding. There is evidently intense interest in the subject of palmistry of which we have but little knowledge and people are only too glad to avail themselves of an opportunity of witnessing the man upon the stage who enjoys such a worldwide celebrity as Dr. Perin. He will stand strong advertising and I think should be booked over the circuit without fail, as this probably the hardest community he could have gone up against with such an act.
