2 shows, 20 min, full stage. Eight nimb [sic] young Japs doing perch work, juggling barrels with their feet, etc. They carry the handsomest drop we have ever seen in this house, representing a fleet of warship, all hand work, costing $7000 and requiring 45 men seven months to make it according to their statements. This act is nicely costumed throughout, the Japs are clean looking and it probably went bigger then any act of the kind ever has before in this house. It will create no end of comment and I think it should be gobbled for the circuit at once. Will endeavor to hold them another week.
