15 min. There is no doubt that the jammed house today was largely owing to the Kinetophone as there was a look of expectancy on every face and many of the crowd seemed impatient of the preceding acts. It is likewise true that the audience thoroughly enjoyed it and were satisfied that the Kinetophone is all that it has been heralded to be. Every one of the Talking Pictures received a big hand, and there was strong applause at the finish. One of the greatest contributions to vaudeville and certainly should serve to pack the house every performance.
