Biograph
15 min. in 1—They have four new pictures this week, but not of sufficient interest to compensate for the eight “chestnuts” that accompanied. I must say that some of those old pictures were applauded, however.

It is again demonstrated this afternoon that many of our people have not seen the biograph to any great extent, on account of it coming so late in the bill, so that several old pictures on the list this afternoon got lots of laughs and the patrons seemed to be thoroughly entertained all the time. 14 minutes in one.

Being put on at an early hour in the afternoon it seemed to catch a class of people to whom it was comparatively new, exactly as we surmised it would in our conversation of Thursday last. The views were not particularly brilliant, still there were one or two comedy pictures that went very good, and it proved to be an excellent attraction at that end of the bill. 10 minutes in one.
Kinetograph
“The Motor Races.” The best series of pictures of a timely subject that Lubin ever took. Of course, being a local race, it goes much stronger than it otherwise would. However, would be interesting anywhere on account of its national importance and the exciting finish.
Pathe News
A very good assortment of news pictures, which as well received. The pictures have been holding our audience in better than usual, proving that the pictures are creating more interest through the special features they have been sending.
Pathe News
5 min. Up to the average. Reel also had a small piece of film devoted to Lincoln’s Birthday.
Motion Pictures of the Boston High School Crews
14 minutes in one. Picture sheet. This is a special local picture of the high school boys of Greater Boston, whose crews compete on the Charles River this week for a trophy offered by Mr. Keith. An interesting local feature.
Harvard-Yale Football Pictures
15 minutes in one. Picture sheet. The clearest and best football pictures we have ever shown. The entire game is pictured from start to finish, and these pictures should draw some business. The majority of the audience remained in their seats for them.
Henriette de Serris’ Tableau Vivants
13 minutes f.s. Special set. One of the greatest living pictures acts we have ever played. The subjects are well chosen, and the whole offering is beautifully staged. A really great act that went over in great shape.
Jack E. Gardner
14 minutes in one. Picture sheet. On account of the fire laws here, Gardner was unable to use his moving pictures machine behind the screen and worked it from the front. But the audience did not know the difference, and it went over in great shape. One of the best novelties we have played in a long time. If Gardner can work this effect from the front, he can save the expense of toting a moving picture booth, machine and operator around the country, and make quite a cut. But it must be admitted that the figures are much larger when throw from the front, whereas the other way they are life-size, and he can shake hands with them.
