20 minutes in one. This act shows moving pictures of a minstrel first part and carry quintette, a leader and a man to operate picture machine. The music is timed with picture. The people work back of the moving picture drop. They do all the talking for the end man and the interlocutor, in fact give an entire part, lasting 20 minutes. This was a big hit with us and the quintette were compelled to take encore in front of their drop at each performance. This act is a novelty and one which I think draws some money.
